UC-VULN-06 — Verify software, firmware, and information integrity
Employ integrity-verification mechanisms — file-integrity monitoring, cryptographic hash or signature validation, and secure or measured boot where supported — to detect unauthorized changes to software, firmware, and critical information, alerting designated personnel on detection. Verify the correct operation of security and privacy functions at startup, on demand, and on a defined schedule, and act on failures or anomalies. Continuously monitor computing hardware, software, and runtime environments so unexpected changes surface as potentially adverse events for analysis.
