In the modern landscape of file transfers and managed file transfer (MFT) systems, ensuring that data remains unaltered during transit and at rest is a critical security requirement. GlobalSCAPE, a pioneer in secure file exchange solutions (now part of Fortra), offers robust Integrity Monitoring capabilities as part of its Enhanced File Transfer (EFT) platform. This feature is designed to detect unauthorized or accidental changes to files, providing organizations with the tools to maintain compliance, prevent data tampering, and respond swiftly to security incidents. What is Integrity Monitoring? Integrity Monitoring is a proactive security control that continuously or periodically verifies that files have not been modified without authorization. Unlike standard auditing, which logs access to files, integrity monitoring focuses on detecting changes —whether malicious (e.g., ransomware encryption, backdoor injection) or unintentional (e.g., human error, corrupted transfers). globalscape integrity monitoring
