CA ControlMinder Monitored Files

The CA ControlMinder Monitored Files report displays the state of critical system files on hosts throughout the enterprise. The report provides a summary pie chart indicating on which hosts the file is not monitored, on which hosts the file is monitored but has been modified, and on which hosts the file is monitored and remains in a trusted state. The report also provides details on the file such as host ID so that you can review the policy for the file on that host or so you can review whether modifications to the file were made by authorized users.

Ensuring that critical system files are monitored is essential to protecting the integrity of your data. Knowing when changes are made to the files provides an audit trail so that you can verify that authorized users made the changes according to your security policy.
