File Integrity Monitoring Service

File Integrity Monitoring (FIM) is a critical cybersecurity practice that tracks changes to files, directories, and system configurations in real time. By monitoring for unauthorized modifications, deletions, or additions, FIM helps organizations detect potential breaches and malicious activity before they escalate into serious security incidents.
With increasing threats from insider attacks, ransomware, and malware, continuous monitoring of critical files is essential. FIM solutions provide alerts whenever suspicious activity occurs, enabling IT teams to respond quickly and maintain the integrity of sensitive data.
CYTAS File Integrity Monitoring services combine advanced detection techniques with expert analysis to protect your organization’s digital assets. By maintaining visibility into changes across your IT environment, these services minimize the risk of data compromise, enhance operational reliability, and support overall cybersecurity resilience.

File Integrity Monitoring Services
Our File Integrity Monitoring services protect critical files, system configurations, and sensitive data from unauthorized changes. By continuously monitoring and alerting on suspicious activity, these solutions help maintain security, compliance, and operational reliability.
System File Monitoring
We track all critical system files for unauthorized modifications, deletions, or additions. Alerts are generated immediately when anomalies occur, ensuring systems remain secure and operational. Continuous monitoring prevents potential breaches and maintains system integrity.
Configuration File Monitoring
Monitoring configuration files ensures that unauthorized changes do not compromise security settings. Any modifications are flagged in real-time, enabling rapid remediation. This helps enforce compliance and maintain consistent security policies across environments.
User Activity Tracking
FIM tracks user actions on critical files and directories to detect suspicious behavior. This helps identify insider threats or compromised accounts early. Monitoring user activity strengthens accountability and enhances overall data protection.
Real-Time Alerts
Our system generates instant alerts whenever unauthorized changes are detected. Real-time notifications allow security teams to respond immediately and prevent potential damage. Prompt action reduces downtime and limits exposure to cyber threats.
Ransomware Detection
By monitoring unusual file changes or mass modifications, FIM can detect ransomware attacks early. Alerts allow organizations to isolate affected systems quickly. Early detection prevents widespread data encryption and operational disruption.
Log File Monitoring
Critical log files are monitored to detect tampering or suspicious activity. Maintaining log integrity ensures accurate incident tracking and forensic analysis. This strengthens both operational security and regulatory compliance.
Database File Protection
FIM continuously monitors database files for unauthorized access or modifications. Any suspicious activity is flagged to prevent data corruption or theft. Protecting databases maintains data reliability and business continuity.
Compliance Reporting
We generate reports that demonstrate adherence to industry regulations such as PCI-DSS, HIPAA, and GDPR. Continuous monitoring and reporting make audits easier and ensure compliance is maintained consistently.
Endpoint File Monitoring
Files on endpoints are monitored to detect unauthorized changes or malicious activity. Alerts help IT teams respond promptly to incidents across desktops, laptops, and mobile devices. This enhances endpoint security and reduces attack surfaces.
Backup Integrity Checks
FIM validates backup files to ensure they are complete and unaltered. This prevents restoring corrupted or tampered data in case of incidents. Reliable backups strengthen disaster recovery and operational resilience.
Policy-Based Monitoring
Organizations can define custom monitoring rules based on their security policies. FIM enforces these rules automatically, ensuring consistent protection across all critical files. Tailored policies adapt to specific business and compliance needs.
Continuous Improvement
Ongoing analysis of alerts and incidents allows optimization of monitoring rules and procedures. Lessons learned from monitoring activities enhance security posture over time. Continuous improvement ensures long-term protection and reliability.
File Integrity Monitoring Infrastructure Assessments

A File Integrity Monitoring Infrastructure Assessment evaluates an organization’s existing systems, monitoring tools, and policies to ensure critical files and configurations are protected from unauthorized changes. This assessment identifies gaps in detection, validates alerting mechanisms, and ensures compliance with industry standards. By reviewing the current setup, organizations can strengthen their defenses, improve monitoring accuracy, and maintain data integrity across their IT environment.
Key Focus Areas:
- Evaluate the current file and directory monitoring coverage across servers and endpoints.
- Assess monitoring configurations, alert thresholds, and notification workflows.
- Review system and application logs for completeness and accuracy.
- Identify vulnerabilities in monitoring tools or gaps in coverage.
- Test response processes for alerts to ensure timely mitigation.
- Validate compliance with regulatory standards and internal security policies.
- Recommend improvements for scalability, reliability, and enhanced detection.
