Also known as change monitoring, File Integrity Monitoring (FIM) solutions monitor and detect file changes that could indicate a cyberattack. They determine if and when files change, who changed them, and what can be done to restore files if those changes are unauthorized. As such, FIM solutions are useful for detecting malware and achieving compliance with regulations like PCI DSS and are a crucial part of any enterprise security stack.

I've spent over 35 years as a trainer in various capacities, so it might surprise you to hear me say that training alone isn't enough to change behaviours—particularly when it comes to security. This isn't just my opinion; it's a conclusion from our State of Human Risk Management in 2024 Report.

As apps become more complex and development speeds up with DevOps, cloud-native tech, and AI, having a comprehensive approach to managing application risk is more important than ever. Traditional methods just aren’t cutting it anymore. Security teams are overwhelmed by vulnerabilities, and developers aren’t getting the guidance they need on what to focus on first. This gap between security and development is leaving apps more vulnerable.

‍ As the cost and frequency of cyber events grow, technologies evolve, and regulatory bodies enact stricter cybersecurity laws on the market, it’s become exceedingly clear that elevating cyber matters to the boardroom is a strategic imperative.
