Which of the following would typically NOT be monitored by File Integrity Monitoring?

File Integrity Monitoring (FIM) is primarily concerned with tracking changes to files and directories to ensure that they have not been altered in unauthorized ways. This includes monitoring file changes for critical system files, configuration files, and specific directories that are of importance to the security and integrity of the system. Additionally, registry changes are often monitored because the registry can contain critical settings and parameters that affect system operations and security.

However, hardware changes are distinctly different from file or system changes. Hardware changes pertain to modifications in the physical components of a computer system, such as the addition or removal of devices like hard drives, memory, or network cards. These changes do not fall under the scope of file integrity monitoring because FIM specifically focuses on monitoring the integrity of files and not the hardware configuration of the device. This leads to the conclusion that hardware changes would not typically be a target of File Integrity Monitoring.
