Thwarting data breaches and meeting stringent compliance requirements have always been a challenge for enterprises. When unauthorized or disgruntled users access and misuse social security numbers, financial records and other sensitive information, the data breach often inflicts irreparable harm to a company and its stakeholders. Meanwhile, Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX), Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), and other regulatory mandates have made it mandatory for companies to monitor all changes that happen to their files and folders in real time.
“The file integrity monitoring capabilities of EventLog Analyzer help companies centralize control of their data across their IT infrastructure as well as comply with regulatory bodies,” said Chenthil Kumaran, product manager, ManageEngine. “By adding file integrity monitoring to our SIEM solution, we can help customers effectively mitigate complex security challenges and also enhance their network security posture with a single, cost-effective SIEM solution.”
Real-Time File Integrity Monitoring Using EventLog Analyzer
The latest version of EventLog Analyzer introduces advanced, real-time file integrity monitoring that uses agent-based log collection techniques to let security professionals centrally track all changes happening to their files and folders. Now, EventLog Analyzer users will know, in real time, when files and folders are created, accessed, viewed, deleted, renamed and modified, and when ownership, permissions and attributes are changed. A video demo of the file integrity monitoring in EventLog Analyzer is available at http://youtu.be/lK5mcPta9gs
EventLog Analyzer’s file integrity monitoring capabilities include:
• Total File Integrity runs a thorough check on files and folders to determine if they are intact by scanning the contents, attributes, permissions, ownership, size and more.
• Baseline Integrity Monitoring creates a baseline for files and folders for precise integrity checking. All files and folders are matched with the baseline to detect changes during integrity scans.
• Monitor All File and Folder Types including executable files, folders, system configuration files, content files, zipped files, zipped folders and more.
• Complete Audit Trail includes all changes that happen on files and folders. The complete audit trail answers the “what, when, where and how” of all changes in real time.
• Meet Compliance Requirements including PCI DSS, SOX, HIPAA, Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) and more.
• File Integrity Reporting generates detailed reports with precise integrity details in multiple report formats, including PDF and CSV.
• File Tampering Check uses the file integrity capability to monitor file checksums — MD5 and SHA-1 — as a safety measure against file tampering.
