Hardening & Integrity Monitoring at a glance

Server hardening to a known-good security baseline

Server hardening removes unnecessary services, accounts and settings to shrink the attack surface. SecureBeans builds a security baseline from CIS Benchmarks for Windows and Linux, applies it consistently and checks for configuration drift so servers stay hardened after every change.

File integrity monitoring and change detection

File integrity monitoring alerts the moment critical system files, registry keys or configurations change. Change detection with log inspection proves system integrity to auditors and meets PCI DSS requirement 11.5. We deploy it with Trend Micro and Symantec Data Center Security and feed alerts to your SIEM.

FAQ

Hardening & Integrity Monitoring - frequently asked questions

What is file integrity monitoring?

File integrity monitoring (FIM) watches critical files, folders, registry keys and settings and alerts when they change unexpectedly, helping detect tampering, malware and unauthorised changes.

Is file integrity monitoring required by PCI DSS?

Yes. PCI DSS requires a change-detection mechanism such as file integrity monitoring on critical system files, configuration files and content files, with alerts on unauthorised modification.

What are CIS Benchmarks?

CIS Benchmarks are consensus-based secure configuration guides from the Center for Internet Security for operating systems, cloud platforms and applications, widely used as a server hardening baseline.
