Description

A properly configured Host-based Intrusion Detection System (HIDS) and Host-based Intrusion Prevention System (HIPS) provides another level of defense against unauthorized access to critical servers. With proper configuration and logging enabled, such a system can stop and/or alert for many attempts to gain unauthorized access to resources.

However, this exception needs to be documented with the information system security officer (ISSO).If a HIDS and HIPS are not installed on the system, this is a finding.

Fix
