Fix Recommendation

Implement procedures to monitor for unauthorized changes to DBMS software libraries, related software application libraries, and configuration files. If a third-party automated tool is not employed, an automated job that reports file information on the directories and files of interest and compares them to the baseline report for the same will meet the requirement.

Use file hashes or checksums for comparisons, as file dates may be manipulated by malicious users.

Check Contents

Review monitoring procedures and implementation evidence to verify monitoring of changes to database software libraries, related applications, and configuration files is done.

Verify the list of files and directories being monitored is complete.

If monitoring does not occur or is not complete, this is a finding.
