Determine whether the system is monitored for unauthorized changes to system files (e.g., *.exe, *.bat, *.com, *.cmd, and *.dll) against a baseline on a weekly basis. If system files are not monitored for unauthorized changes, this is a finding. A properly configured HBSS Policy Auditor 5.2 or later File Integrity Monitor (FIM) module will meet the requirement for file integrity checking. The Asset module within HBSS does not meet this requirement. |
