The WP500 allows the monitoring of file integrity, ensuring that administrators can track changes to the system files.

File Integrity Monitoring:

This feature is essential for detecting unauthorized modifications and maintaining system security.

  • Administrators can monitor which files have been added, modified, or deleted on the WP500 device. This monitoring is typically done through Linux using tools like WinSCP.
  • The Superuser, who only has access to the system via Linux and no access to the user interface, is usually responsible for adding or modifying files.


Accessing File Integrity Monitoring:

  • Navigate to the System section in the WP500 user interface and click on the File Integrity button.
  • You will see options for viewing New Files, Modified Files, and Deleted Files. Files are categorized accordingly, allowing for easy tracking of changes.


Acknowledgment of Changes:

  • The admin can acknowledge files inserted or modified by the Superuser. This acknowledgment helps in distinguishing between legitimate system changes and potential security issues.
  • File integrity monitoring also aids in troubleshooting by providing detailed records of system modifications.
