Election-office content servers must alert if campaign-filing PDFs or web binaries change outside a change window. Which capability best detects unauthorized file modifications?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Think of the election servers as a locked evidence locker with a seal on each box. File integrity monitoring checks that seal—hash or content—and yells when something moves outside the approved window.
Full Explanation
File integrity monitoring (FIM) establishes baselines of critical files and directories and alerts when unauthorized changes occur. Backups alone restore data but do not detect tampering in near real time. Blanket write locks break legitimate updates, and public listings are not an enterprise detection control.
