What is file integrity monitoring software?

It’s a software-based tool or application that allows you to monitor your files and systems for unapproved or suspicious modifications that could trigger a data breach.

What files should be monitored with FIM?

File integrity monitoring tools monitor your files, including: Configuration filesWindows registriesAccess permissionsSensitive data stored in the cloud or on-prem devices and systems

What’s the difference between EDR and FIM?

Endpoint detection and response (EDR) is a bigger term that deals with identifying and responding to threats, which could be targeting your applications and other assets. But FIM deals with protecting your data by finding modified files without permissions that could point to a threat.

File Integrity Monitoring and Malware Analysis Services by Microminder CS

Prevent malware and other threats from accessing your sensitive data and systems with Microminder CS’s file integrity and malware analysis services.

Microminder’s FIM and Malware Analysis Services

Check the signs of tampering or malware in your files, systems, and databases with Microminder’s advanced FIM and malware analysis to save your operations from getting compromised. Here are our capabilities:

File Integrity Monitoring Solutions

Continuous Monitoring

We monitor your operating system, application files and folders, databases, archived logs, registries, and other files across your on-premises and cloud environments continuously to look for unauthorised modifications.

This will give you a bigger picture of modifications and make prompt fixes. You can track which account made the changes, what files and systems were changed, and what activities before and after making the changes.

Real-Time Detection

Cyber threats, for instance, fileless malware often change local files and registries to deploy malicious code and compromise your systems.

Microminder’s file integrity monitoring solution detects malware, ransomware, advanced persistent threats (APTs), fileless malware, and other threats in real time. It correlates data from IDS/IPS, audit logs, antivirus software, etc. using tools, such as security information and event management (SIEM). With real-time detection in your toolkit, it becomes easier for you to remediate risks and secure your files.

Instant Notifications

Get instant notifications on suspicious or unauthorised activities, such as deleted configuration files, modified registries, unexpected system file changes, and so on. It helps you take suitable action immediately before your systems are compromised.

Detail Reports

We provide detailed reports on security incidents, so you can understand what went wrong with your systems. Our security experts analyse the complete case and summarise it in the language that your team members can easily understand, whether they are beginners or seasoned professionals.

We highlight each suspicious incident detected, modified assets, accounts that made the changes, and its impacts on the business. It will help you revise your security measures and get your systems to safety.

Compliance Management

We take data privacy seriously and we understand the severe consequences of non-compliance to standards. This is why we make it our responsibility to manage compliance for you.

We protect your files and data and provide detailed malware analysis reports that you can furnish during audits. It will help you showcase your commitment to meeting compliance requirements of regulations, such as HIPAA, UK GDPR, SAMA, PCI DSS, NIST, and more.

Malware Analysis Services

UEBA-Based Threat Detection

Microminder offers user and entity behaviour analysis (UEBA) to detect malware and other threats in your system. We establish a baseline of common or acceptable user or account behaviour and constantly look for deviations from this baseline to spot complex threats.

Our online malware analyser uses advanced ML algorithms and statistical analysis to find attack patterns and suspicious behaviours by skimming through a vast volume of data.

Static and Dynamic Malware Analysis

At Microminders, we perform two types of malware analysis:

Static malware analysis: Our security experts carefully analyse malware while it’s static, i.e., without executing the code. We use various techniques to do this, such as signature-based detection, studying its metadata, or reverse-engineering the binary. It helps us classify the malware, what harm it can pose, and how it works.
Dynamic malware analysis: Our seasoned analysts execute the malware code in a controlled environment to get a deeper understanding of the malware. It helps us identify its intentions and the damage it can do to your systems.

To ensure safety during the process, we create a testing environment (also called malware sandbox or malware analysis sandbox) for the malware to execute without infecting the network or systems.

File System Forensic Analysis

As a part of our comprehensive digital forensics and incident response (DFIR) services, we provide file system forensic analysis. We examine the file attributes and metadata to predict the timeline of malware and incidents. It helps us detect deleted, hidden, or modified files that may shed light on the incident.

We also perform log file analysis to correlate event sequences and timestamps. This helps analysts find the signs of file modifications, malware, or breaches.

Quick Alerts

Receive alerts as soon as our system detects unusual activities or the presence of malware in your systems. This will help you investigate the incident faster and resolve security issues before it transforms into a cyber attack.

Why Do You Need File Integrity Monitoring and Malware Analysis?

Tired of tracking your files manually? Could you guarantee your files are not tampered with?

Identify Threats

Detect vulnerabilities, malware, and other cyber threats in your systems with our file integrity and malware analysis services. We monitor your files continuously and alert you the moment we detect any suspicious modifications.

We also use advanced malware detection techniques, such as UEBA, statics and dynamic malware analysis, file forensics, etc. to identify malware and other threats in your systems. This gives you an upper hand on the cyberattacks before they can harm you.

Protect Confidential Data

We at Microminders safeguard your confidential business and customer data from going into the wrong hands by protecting your files from tampering and unauthorised access.

We will provide you with broad insights into what files were changed, when, from which account, and what activities followed post the incident. This saves you from manually investigating the integrity of each file and folder and tracking the timestamps.

Prevent Attacks

Get advanced malware detection and prevention to beat cyber attackers every time they try entering your network. We have designed our FIM and malware analysis services to find even the most sophisticated malware, such as fileless malware and APTs and get rid of them quickly to minimise the damage.

It requires you to use advanced security measures to protect your business and customer data from attackers. Our FIM and malware analysis services help you do just that.

With detailed reports on your cybersecurity measures and data handling practices, you can pass audits without hassles or penalties. Apart from safeguarding your organisation, this helps maintain your reputation among your customers, investors, and partners.

How FIM and Malware Analysis Works at MCS

Take a step-by-step tour to understand how we do FIM and malware analysis:

Asset Discovery: Our security experts sit with your team to understand your IT infrastructure. We account for all assets across on-premises or cloud, such as applications, services, and devices that need monitoring and protection. This helps us define suitable security policies for each one of them.
Setting up a baseline: We establish a baseline to define an activity as common or usual. Any deviation from this baseline will be considered unusual or suspicious, such as accessing restricted data, downloading large files beyond what’s permitted, etc.
