FIM Isn’t Just for Files Anymore

File integrity monitoring was invented by Tripwire’s founder over 25 years ago and has evolved over time to become one of the most important security controls — so critical, in fact, that it’s required by major compliance standards like the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). But what a lot of cybersecurity professionals aren’t familiar with is how FIM has expanded to include a whole lot more than just files, encompassing operating systems, servers, endpoints, network devices, and much more. 

This expansion of FIM is giving rise to the industry's growing focus on integrity management. What does this term mean, exactly, and how does it work in practice? In this recorded webinar, Fortra Principal Solutions Engineer John Salmi explains what successful integrity management looks like today and how you can use it to catch and correct suspicious changes across your entire environment.
