The FISMA SI-7 Buyer’s Guide focuses on one of the most difficult security controls agencies must adhere to: NIST 800-53 SI-7. Learn what solutions to look for.
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 now so that...
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 organization gains from...
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” was around long...
How do organizations execute an efficient cloud security strategy and find the right cloud security tools? Tripwire asked a range of cloud security experts to share their thoughts on some of the key challenges regarding secure cloud storage and cloud computing security.
Threats to Industrial Control Systems (ICS) are increasing—a reality that ICS-centric industries have begun to recognize. As a response to the growing need for protection from cyberattacks, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), National Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Center (NCCIC) and the National Security Agency (NSA) have published Seven Steps to Effectively Defend Industrial...
The goal of the Center for Internet Security Controls is to protect critical assets, infrastructure and information by strengthening your organization's defensive posture through continuous, automated protection and monitoring of your IT infrastructure.
The strength of the Controls is that it reflects the combined knowledge of actual attacks and effective defenses from experts in many...
Organizations are increasingly migrating to the cloud to process their IT resources. Gartner predicts that cloud data centers will process 92 percent of workloads by 20201, while Cisco forecasts cloud workloads to increase 3.2x in that span of time2.
Under the Shared Responsibility Model, migrating organizations need to ensure security in the cloud by taking adequate measures to protect their...
Federal cybersecurity integrity is often defined as the incorruptibility of data (as part of the CIA triad), and file integrity monitoring (FIM), a control which has become a compliance requirement in standards such as FISMA and PCI DSS. Read the full white paper to learn more.
Shifting language can be difficult, but it’s more appropriate to talk about Integrity Management in regards to today’s technology landscape. Integrity Management provides an umbrella approach to managing risk in an environment. There are four basic steps to ensuring integrity:
Secure deployment
System baseline
Change monitoring
Change remediation
This white paper will help you broaden your...
Introduction
The world of IT is moving to the cloud for flexibility, on-demand computing resources, and speed just to name a few benefits. Market data varies but estimates of cloud usage show that in the range of 20–25% of overall compute workloads are operating in public cloud environments today, with that expected to grow to 50% over the next 5–10 years. However, most organizations haven’t...
Security leaders charged with reducing their organizations’ cloud attack surfaces have to stay continually up-to-date in a security landscape that changes in the blink of an eye.
This anthology of insights from some of Tripwire’s leading cloud experts will help you understand how to prioritize and tackle your cloud security imperatives. Download your copy now to learn:

Nearly every aspect of modern life depends on industrial control systems (ICS) operating as expected. As ICS devices become increasingly connected, they also become increasingly vulnerable. By and large, commercial and critical infrastructure industrial orgs are underprepared for the digital convergence of their IT and OT environments. ICS operators need to get a robust cybersecurity program in...
