Overview

Tracking changes to system files can help ensure normal functioning of an operating system and its applications. While, tracking creation of new program files can help detect malware. For these reasons, file integrity monitoring (FIM) which involves monitoring changes across program and system files is important. ADAudit Plus helps monitor file integrity across your Windows network.
