Endpoint Integrity Monitor for Enterprise Desktops

P6/10April 6, 2026
WhatA lightweight agent that continuously audits system files (hosts, registry, certificates, scheduled tasks) for unauthorized modifications by installed software and alerts IT teams in real time.
SignalThe discovery that a major vendor silently modifies critical system files reveals that enterprises have no reliable way to detect when trusted software oversteps its boundaries — current endpoint protection focuses on malware, not legitimate apps behaving badly.
Why NowSupply-chain and vendor-trust attacks are surging, regulators (EU CRA, US executive orders) now require software bill-of-materials accountability, and IT teams need tooling that treats all software — even trusted vendors — as potentially misbehaving.
MarketIT security teams at mid-to-large enterprises; $8B+ endpoint security TAM; existing EDR tools (CrowdStrike, SentinelOne) focus on threat detection, not vendor-behavior auditing — clear gap.
MoatAccumulating a continuously updated database of known vendor behaviors and fingerprints across thousands of enterprise software packages creates a data asset competitors cannot quickly replicate.
