The File Integrity Monitoring task is designed to track actions performed with the files and directories in the monitoring scopes specified in the task settings. You can use the task to find file changes that may indicate a security breach on the protected server. You can also configure file changes to be tracked during periods when monitoring is interrupted.

To use File Integrity Monitoring functionality, you must purchase an extended license that covers this functionality. File Integrity Monitoring is disabled by default.
