Redefining File Integrity Monitoring
Tripwire File Integrity Monitoring�intelligent change auditing to ID suspect change
File integrity monitoring is a key tenet of modern IT security. Dozens of products claim to detect changes to IT files and configurations, but most only skim the surface of this need. But Tripwire Enterprise’s File Integrity Manager not only detects and notes change, it also captures the details necessary to separate business-as-usual changes from risks or threats. It determines who made the change and when, what actions occurred before or after, and if the change was authorized or desired. It even determines when configurations drift even slightly from their known and trusted states. Now that’s true file integrity monitoring.
When the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) was introduced in 2004, it elevated file integrity monitoring a to a security best practice. The PCI standard based its definition of “file integrity monitoring” on capabilities Tripwire developed in 1995 and has since expanded:
True Integrity
Only File Integrity Manager determines if file or configuration integrity is truly intact from top to bottom, with visibility into to raw file contents and attributes (like hostname or username), permissions, registry settings and security parameters.
Enterprise-wide, Real-Time Monitoring
File Integrity Manager assesses integrity across the entire IT infrastructure in real-time — from servers to applications and databases, virtual environments, network devices and more — and immediately alerts on potential errors.
Assurance of the “Known and Trusted” State
IT teams the world over rely on File Integrity Manager to establish a reliable baseline — the definitive “known and trusted state“ of IT infrastructure. They also rely on it to protect that state by detecting and preventing configuration drift and by giving visibility into changes that introduce vulnerabilities.
Beyond Traditional File Integrity Monitoring
File Integrity Manager is tightly coupled with Tripwire Enterprise‘s Compliance Policy Manager to determine system integrity and authoritatively answer the critical question: Are we safe?
The System Of Record For Enterprise Change
In thousands of organizations worldwide, Tripwire Enterprise’s File Integrity Manager is the definitive “system of record” for changes to the modern enterprise‘s critical infrastructure. This record mitigates risks, enables rapid system repair, and provides unbeatable forensics and traceability.
