File integrity monitoring is a feature available in OSSEC host-based intrusion detection systems (HIDSs), enabling user organizations to mitigate risk and meet FIM security and compliance controls in standards and requirements such as FedRAMP, CIS, ISO/IEC 27001, HIPAA, CJIS, GDPR, NERC CIP, IEC 62443, HITRUST CSF, NIST 800-53 SI-7, and PCI DSS 11.5. OSSEC FIM is platform-agnostic and provides the insight and control needed to maintain file and system integrity across Linux, Windows, Solaris, MacOS, AIX and many other OSs, including legacy and end of life versions. Whether it’s servers, desktops, IoT devices, cloud environments or containers, OSSEC FIM provides a crucial framework for identifying malicious or anomalous changes and thwarting malware and intrusion.
Atomicorp’s OSSEC FIM offering makes this security better and compliance easier through additional FIM and compliance features, including compliance scanning and a full featured SIEM with reporting, asset management and threat hunting in a powerful user interface. Atomic OSSEC provides 5X more rules than the free OSSEC and smarter configurations that sharpen detection and reduce false positives and negatives. It captures the “who” data (i.e., who made the change with what), as well as SIEM logs and artifacts for auditing, reporting, and determining whether a change is legitimate or not. A real-time OSSEC FIM setting allows infosec teams to orchestrate OSSEC-based FIM in continuous monitoring mode to detect and root out hard-to-find errors and traces of intrusion.
Atomic OSSEC also comes with professional technical support to evolve your OSSEC HIDS and OSSEC FIM initiatives to their fullest potential.
Accelerate OSSEC FIM to Real-Time FIM
The real-time file integrity monitoring in Atomic OSSEC FIM detects subtle changes across your monitored environment. The OSSEC FIM lets you capture a file instance before and after the change, analyze and benchmark against Atomicorp and crowdsourced global threat intelligence and CVE databases, and get an alert while the system isolates the malware. This is not a timer-based model, this is a real-time detection, response and discovery model. That means when a change happens the FIM can detect it in a millisecond, back up the originals and alert you to intrusion.

Extend OSSEC FIM and HIDS Detection; Accelerate Malware Response
Atomic OSSEC provides a host-based intrusion detection system that goes well beyond FIM for compliance. Atomic OSSEC equips user organizations and their endpoints with:
- AV and antimalware, and central AV management for load balancing, so you can prevent intrusion without taxing your memory and processing resources
- OSSEC file integrity monitoring (FIM) that you can run in real time to catch the vanishing traces of an attack
- Malware detection and malware memory analysis and removal that tackles malicious files as well as fileless malware hiding in memory
- Active response through alerting and automated rules
- Automatic vulnerability (CVE) and weakness (CWE) detection
- Cloud workload protection, web application firewalling, and protection for containers, too.
- Additional, defense-in-depth controls for keeping your data and systems secure such as system hardening, air gapping, and data loss prevention (DLP)
- Professional technical support toward OSSEC rule design and configuration: We’re the OSSEC and OSSEC FIM experts
