Abstract

In terms of functionality and confidentiality, sensitive files in computer systems, such as log files, executable programmes, configuration, and authorization data, are extremely important. By confirming every operation taken on these sensitive files, an efficient method known as file integrity monitoring is suggested to identify aggressive behaviours and safeguarding sensitive data. This paper presents a solution which continuously check the integrity of files and also gives an alert for addition or deletion of files. The method is also capable to detect and report if the added file is malicious or not. This research is significant because it has the potential to improve computer system security by lowering the possibility of malicious or unauthorised file additions or modifications, which lowers the chance of security breaches and system disruptions.
