Host-Based File Integrity Monitoring (FIM)

Host-based file integrity monitoring is often the only way to validate whether a threat has caused any genuine harm. Our file integrity monitoring (FIM) experts use proprietary technologies and processes to ensure the integrity of critical system files and detect unauthorized changes in real-time.

Service Overview

The Last Line of Defense Against Threats That Evade Your Firewall

Undetected cyber threats often remain undetected on target networks for weeks or even months. Our host-based intrusion detection system is your last line of defense against threats that evade your firewall, NIDS, and antivirus. 

File integrity monitoring (FIM) tracks file modifications on a host, regardless of whether these changes were made by a user or a service. Quite often, this is the only way to validate whether or not an attack has been successful. In addition to being an essential component of any security program, FIM is also a core requirement of many industry compliance frameworks.
