Tripwire will do pretty reasonable job of telling you what's changed. This
need not be expensive.

After an attack has been discovered, the victim (company) must
investigate
the damage to the liberated system.  This could involve manually
checking
all files in all directories for alteration.  Following this, the
system should
then be checked in order to detect any external copying of files
(this could
involve the system logs or a network traffic monitor.)

These two activities are expensive.
