FIM Resources for Advanced Cyber Integrity
File integrity monitoring (FIM) is used to detect and correct unauthorized system changes that may be indicators of compromise. As the inventors of FIM, Fortra’s Tripwire has a multi-decade track record of helping organizations that want to reduce cyber risk and achieve system integrity to avoid security breaches and audit fines.
This toolkit is designed to help you gain a deeper understanding of file integrity monitoring and ensure a high level of cyber integrity across your organization. Learn how to use FIM to maximize the efficacy of your security program as a core control that detects unwanted changes on your systems in real-time to protect your organization from breaches or other forms of compromise.
