Use case
Prove change control to auditors with a record from the server, not a policy document. Mimic Networks stops unauthorized changes on protected servers at the point of execution and feeds enforcement events to your SIEM and SOAR platforms, so the evidence sits where your team already works.
What Mimic does
Mimic stops exploitation at the point of execution. A change outside a protected server's known-good profile doesn't run, and DashCam records what was attempted, by which process and when.
Ransomware DefenseMimic feeds enforcement events to your SIEM and SOAR platforms. Mimic integrates with ServiceNow through custom deployments for automated ticketing and change management.
Ransomware DefenseQuestions
Change rules in finance, energy and telecom all ask, in their own words, for approval before a change is made. DORA Article 9(4)(e) asks that all changes to ICT systems are recorded, tested, assessed, approved, implemented and verified in a controlled manner. NERC CIP-010-4 Part 1.2 asks entities to authorize and document changes that deviate from the existing baseline configuration.
For each change Mimic blocks, DashCam records each blocked attempt: what it tried to change, when and the process behind it. Your team reviews that record in DashCam. Mimic feeds enforcement events to your SIEM and SOAR platforms too.
Yes. Mimic feeds enforcement events to your SIEM and SOAR platforms, so your security operations team sees them alongside the rest of its telemetry. Mimic integrates with ServiceNow through custom deployments for automated ticketing and change management. Scope that deployment with your ServiceNow owners, because it's built for your instance rather than installed as a packaged connector.
File integrity monitoring reports that a file changed, after the fact, and the evidence is a list of alerts someone has to reconcile. Mimic checks each change before it executes and stops unauthorized ones, so the record shows changes that were stopped, not only changes that happened.
Proof
Read the record before an auditor does. DashCam records each blocked attempt: what it tried to change, when and the process behind it.
Limits
Who it's for
An auditor wants to see that approval and enforcement match, not that a policy exists. Mimic gives you the record from the protected server, next to the tickets you already keep.
The evidence should already be in your tools when someone asks for it. Mimic feeds enforcement events to your SIEM and SOAR platforms, so your team sees them alongside the rest of its telemetry.
Can you prevent ransomware without detection?
Audit season shouldn't mean rebuilding what happened from memory and logs. DashCam records what each blocked change attempted, by which process and when, on the servers Mimic protects.
FAQ
Your auditor decides what counts as evidence. What Mimic gives them is a record from the protected server itself: each blocked change, with what it tried to change, when and the process behind it. That record sits beside your tickets and approvals, so an auditor can compare what was approved with what the server stopped, instead of taking a policy document at its word.
Yes. Your change management system holds the requests, approvals and tickets. Mimic enforces on the servers it protects: a change outside the known-good profile stops at the point of execution, and DashCam records it. Mimic integrates with ServiceNow through custom deployments for automated ticketing and change management, so the tickets and the enforcement events can sit side by side.
Yes. Mimic checks what a change does to a protected server, not who made it. An administrator account that changes a protected file, service or registry key outside the profile is stopped and recorded like any other attempt. DashCam keeps the process, the order and the time, which is what an investigator asks for after an incident.
Only the servers you protect with a Mimic node. Mimic protects Windows Server 2016 and later, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 and later. It doesn't run on laptops, desktops or network devices. Start with the servers your auditors ask about most, such as the ones behind payments, trading or a regulated control system, and widen coverage from there.
