5 File Integrity Monitoring (FIM) Myths and Misconceptions
File integrity monitoring (FIM) is the cybersecurity process that monitors and detects changes in your environment to alert you to threats and helps you remediate them. While monitoring environments for change sounds simple enough, there are plenty of misconceptions about how exactly FIM fits into a successful cybersecurity program. It’s essential to address those common myths...

File Integrity Monitoring (FIM) Software Buyer's Guide
There’s a lot more to file integrity monitoring than simply detecting change. Although FIM is a common policy requirement, there are many FIM capabilities and processes you can elect to implement or not. These can vary from a simple “checkbox” compliance tool to the option to build effective security and operational controls. These decisions directly affect the value your...

The Value of True File Integrity Monitoring
File Integrity Monitoring (FIM) is a technology that monitors for changes in files that may indicate a cyberattack. In many organizations, however, FIM mostly means noise: too many changes, no context around these changes, and little insight into whether a detected change actually poses a risk.
What does file integrity monitoring do? FIM, and often referred to as “change audit...
