File Integrity Monitoring (FIM) continuously watches critical files, folders, configurations and registry keys, and alerts when they change unexpectedly. Because tampering, malware and misconfiguration all leave a change on disk, FIM is an early-warning system for your most important systems.

The tell-tale change

When an attacker plants a web shell, a rootkit alters a system file, or a bad change breaks a server, the common signal is a file that should not have changed. FIM turns that signal into an alert.

A named compliance control

FIM is a named requirement in PCI DSS and a core expectation of ISO 27001 and KVKK change-control. Auditors ask for it specifically.

What good FIM adds

Siberson Verifim monitors in real time, covers Windows registry as well as files, and records encrypted, attributable logs that show who changed what and when — evidence auditors trust.
