CimTrak Integrity Suite vs Elastic Security

CimTrak Integrity Suite monitors IT infrastructure for unintended or unauthorized changes, with real-time alerts and records for analysis and reporting. It keeps incremental snapshots that teams can use to restore an earlier baseline or reverse a detected change. On certain platforms, it can block changes to selected files and directories. Its integrations include STIX/TAXII threat feeds, file reputation services, ticketing systems, and SIEM tools. Cimcor lists support for Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris, macOS, HP-UX, AIX, network devices, databases, hypervisors, cloud platforms, and containers. The company says the suite supports more than 50 compliance frameworks and provides continuous compliance reporting. It states that communications, data, and audit logs are encrypted. Deployments can be on premises, in the cloud, or hybrid. Cimcor describes its customers as small, mid-market, and enterprise organizations, including those in finance, healthcare, government, and critical infrastructure. The software is paid, pricing is on request, and a free trial is available.
