11.5 Deploy a change-detection mechanism (for example file-integrity monitoring tools) to alert personnel to unauthorized modification (including changes additions and deletions) of critical system files configuration files or content files; and configure the software to perform critical file comparisons at least weekly. Note: For change-detection purposes critical files are usually those that do not regularly change but the modification of which could indicate a system compromise or risk of compromise. Change-detection mechanisms such as file-integrity monitoring products usually come preconfigured with critical files for the related operating system.
