Systems integrity is a way to ensure core ressources are left unaltered on a given host.
Still academic organisations, places under pathological exposure or industries relying on system critical applications may fall into one of the above categories. Monitoring prevents things from getting out of control up to the point where the station becomes unmanageable. The worst damage a hacker can do to your system is not necessarily caused by a high profile assault like deleting a root partition, corrupting a whole database or injecting a nasty virus. Such strikes have disastrous short-term consequences for sure, but when you think about it today's cheap backup technology allows smooth and speedy recovery, even in the worst situations. Once the system is back to normal, you can bet the sysadmin will get the hacker's message and do his best not to fall in the trap again.
