This solution brief explains how Fortra’s Tripwire Enterprise helps prevent and detect ransomware using file integrity monitoring (FIM) and security configuration management (SCM). FIM detects unauthorized changes, file encryptions, and deletions in real time, alerting teams to potential ransomware activity. SCM hardens system configurations and identifies vulnerabilities that attackers exploit. Tripwire supports frameworks like PCI DSS, NERC CIP, MITRE ATT&CK, and CIS Controls, providing automated policy checks and remediation scripts. Custom policies detect specific ransomware indicators, such as file hashes or registry keys. Integrated with change management, SIEM, and ticketing tools, Tripwire automates detection, validation, and response to minimize attack impact.
