Bitdefender GravityZone Integrity Monitoring

Why do you need integrity monitoring?

PCI DSS Requirement 10.5.5 and ISO 27001 control A.12.4.3 require mechanisms for detecting unauthorized changes to system files and configurations. Without File Integrity Monitoring (FIM), attackers can modify critical files, backdoor configurations and remain undetected for weeks.

GravityZone Integrity Monitoring goes beyond traditional FIM - it monitors files, registries, applications and configurations in real-time, categorizes events and provides contextual recommendations, reducing alert fatigue.

How does it work?

Real-time Monitoring

Continuous scanning with immediate change detection:

• File and directory monitoring (creation, modification, deletion)
• System registry change tracking
• Newly installed or modified application detection
• System and network configuration monitoring

Configurable rules

Flexible rulesets tailored to organizational needs:

• Monitored path and file type definition per endpoint
• Authorized change whitelisting (patching, deployments)
• Different policies for production, dev and staging servers
• Exclusions reducing false positives

Categorization and response

Intelligent event prioritization instead of alert flooding:

• Automatic change categorization (critical, important, informational)
• Contextual action recommendations for each event
• Automatic corrective actions (e.g., file restoration)
• Manual response with audit trail
