Which of the following actions does NOT relate to File Integrity Monitoring?

1. Monitoring file changes

2. Summarizing web traffic

3. Alerting on registry changes

4. Providing audit reports

The correct answer is: Summarizing web traffic

The action that does not relate to File Integrity Monitoring is summarizing web traffic. File Integrity Monitoring primarily focuses on tracking and reporting changes to files and directories, ensuring that any unauthorized modifications or access can be promptly identified and addressed. This typically includes monitoring file changes, alerting when important system registry changes occur, and providing audit reports for compliance and security assessments. Summarizing web traffic, however, pertains to network monitoring and analyzing data transmitted over networks rather than examining the integrity of files on a system. This activity is more aligned with web security and network performance analysis rather than the specific purpose of File Integrity Monitoring, which is aimed at maintaining the security and integrity of files on a server or network device.
