PowerBroker offers file integrity as part of the least privilege agent. File integrity monitoring (FIM) is a
technology to monitor and protect system files which many organizations are
embracing to support compliance mandates and to reduce the risks of malware.
By monitoring sensitive files in real time administrators are proactively
notified of suspect activities that may be related to privilege misuse or
malware including file modification or encryption.

With the introduction of file integrity monitoring (FIM) for Unix and Linux,
BeyondTrust now offers FIM for all major operating systems, protecting
organizations’ critical files and binaries from tampering, regardless of
platform.

With FIM enabled, organizations can be assured that important system binaries,
product binaries and files of each system where PowerBroker for Unix & Linux
has been deployed will not be tampered with. Any changes that do occur as
part of system changes and updates are fully audited and can be reviewed and
accepted to ensure that no compromises are introduced to controlled systems.
FIM performs timed scans of centrally selected files and folders, checking
the targets against a list of predefined settings, including location,
ownership, permissions, size, date/time and file hash.

PowerBroker for Unix & Linux version 9.4 is currently available. File
integrity monitoring capability is also available in PowerBroker for
Windows.
