Tripwire

Tripwire is a security tool used by organizations to monitor and detect unauthorized changes to critical computer files and systems. It creates a baseline of known, secure file states and regularly checks for modifications, additions, or deletions. If any unexpected changes occur, Tripwire alerts administrators, enabling quick response to potential security threats or breaches. Essentially, it acts like a vigilant guardian, ensuring system integrity by promptly identifying suspicious activity that could indicate tampering or malware.
