nCircle File Integrity Monitor provides an agentless file integrity auditing solution that gives you the ability to monitor an asset’s details all the way down to the file level without requiring software agents on the monitored system. nCircle’s file integrity monitoring solution discovers significant file integrity detail, such as:

  • File size
  • Version
  • When it was created
  • When it was modified
  • The login name of any user who modifies the file
  • Its attributes (e.g., Read-Only, Hidden, System, etc.)

As an extra safeguard against file tampering, the solution also monitors file checksums – MD5 or SHA-1 on Windows-based systems and MD5 or any user-defined hash algorithm on Unix-based systems - providing cryptography-based monitoring for file changes.
