1. A system, comprising:

  • a memory that stores instructions; and

    a processor that executes the instructions to perform operations, the operations comprising;

    activating, at a virtual machine executing a copy of a service, an integrity checking script for checking an integrity of the service, wherein the integrity checking script is activated at selected periodic intervals;

    executing, by utilizing the integrity checking script and the virtual machine, a set of operations associated with the service to check the integrity of the service, wherein the set of operations are executed based on a minimum level of access to a peripheral that is required for each operation in the set of operations to be executed, wherein the minimum level of access to the peripheral comprises suspending access to network ports, wherein the set of operations are executed based on the minimum level of access to the peripheral when the system is in an integrity check mode;

    logging each result for each operation in the set of operations after each operation is executed;

    analyzing, by utilizing the virtual machine, each result to determine if a failure for an operation in the set of operations exists; and

    determining, if the failure exists, that a change in an expected system behavior associated with the service has occurred.
