Verisys FIM
Verisys is a file integrity monitoring (FIM) software designed to detect unauthorized changes to files and configurations across systems. It is typically employed within enterprise environments to enhance compliance, security, and operational integrity by monitoring critical system files and alerting administrators of any unexpected modifications..
Verisys operates as a File Integrity Monitoring solution, which involves continuously scanning files, directories, and system configurations for changes that might indicate malicious activity or unauthorized access. It calculates and stores cryptographic checksums (hashes) of baseline states and periodically or on-demand compares those values to detect modifications.
Verisys can be configured to monitor a wide variety of files including system binaries, configuration scripts, logs, and application files. This monitoring is crucial in compliance frameworks like PCI DSS, HIPAA, and SOX, where ensuring the integrity of sensitive data and configurations is a key control. The software typically supports integration with centralized logging and alerting solutions to provide real-time notification of policy violations.
Communication with the Verisys management console or updating policies may occur over TCP port 3313, enabling remote administration and centralized control. Because it offers granular change detection, it reduces false positives and helps allocate investigative resources efficiently.
