File integrity monitoring for PrestaShop
Baseline critical paths and learn when files change without an intentional update — a classic early warning for PrestaShop tampering.
Unauthorized change is the quiet failure mode
Attackers and malware often edit a single PHP file or drop a new one beside a legitimate module. Without integrity monitoring, those edits blend into normal filesystem noise until checkout fraud or SEO spam appears.
How integrity works in Security Engine
You establish a baseline for critical store paths. Later scans compare the live tree to that baseline and report unexpected additions or modifications. After you intentionally upgrade PrestaShop, modules, or themes, review the diff and refresh the baseline so alerts stay relevant.
Operational tips
- Baseline after a known-good state (fresh install or verified cleanup).
- Re-baseline after planned upgrades so legitimate diffs do not bury real incidents.
- Investigate unexpected core, override, and module changes immediately.
