cryptographically signed list of file properties. Integrity Checking can be configured to send alerts

Known Files List

The Known Files List contains all files that the product monitors and protects.
The baseline is created from the Known Files List by reading the properties of the files in the
list and cryptographically signing the result. Integrity Checking compares this result to real-time
file accesses.
Note: The Known Files List in the Web User Interface shows only the baseline status that
is currently stored in the product. To view the actual, up-to-date file system status, use the
Verify baseline operation in Web User Interface or run the fsic command line utility.
