File Integrity Monitoring

The Threat Stack Difference

Complete Visibility to Catch Every Malicious Action

If your data is sensitive, it doesn’t matter whether your attacker is looking at it for 5 seconds or exporting it for 5 hours. Threat Stack alerts on the full file lifecycle, never missing an update.

Immediately Understand What Happened

Threat Stack provides the complete context for every change enabling you to immediately see what happened before and after an event; this provides a faster time to respond and remediate malicious activity.

Monitor
Continuously

Unlike most FIM solutions that periodically poll the environment they are monitoring, Threat Stack securely monitors file activity 24x7 with SOC 2 compliant cloud infrastructure to generate near real-time alerts, reducing dwell time of an attacker.

Most File Integrity Monitoring Solutions Use a Hashing Approach.

The Problem?

Traditional approaches to File Integrity Monitoring rely on a hashing or signature-based process that compares a current hash version to a prior "known good" version to see whether changes have been made to a file or set of files. Although this method can help detect a few key system binaries often weaponized by malware, it will not detect when an attacker has merely accessed or copied a file. Additionally, companies are often limited to scanning once a day, usually during off hours, to avoid facing challenges with scale in large environments that require touching every file or computing a hash, lookup, or compare. Running on a periodic basis means an attacker has a larger attack window with free range to make significant changes before any follow up scans are performed. This traditional approach provides a false sense of security.
