What is Corner Bowl File Integrity Monitor?

Corner Bowl File Integrity Monitor is an extensive enterprise-class software monitoring and management tool for IT professionals that enables your organization to continuously monitor operating system executables and dlls, application and mission critical data files, changes made to any file's content, attributes, access permissions, and file access on both Windows and Linux servers and workstations.

How does Corner Bowl do it?

Baseline Scanning

Corner Bowl Software's File Integrity Monitor scans directories using Windows Shares and SSH/SFTP to create file access, file attribute and file content baselines then continually re-scans to let you know when a file is accessed, modified or deleted. Access Permissions are scanned on Windows Servers using WMI.

Real-Time Object Access Auditing

If you want to know the user that modified a file on a Windows Server, enable Object Access Auditing on your Windows Server and you will get notified in real-time the instant a user accesses a file along with the IP address the access was made from. Please note, Object Access Auditing monitoring requires either a Server Manager or an Event Log Manager license.
