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.

Details

Check Text (C-254249r1186387_chk)

Determine if there is a HIDS and HIPS on each server. A HIDS device is not required on a system that has the role as the Network Intrusion Device (NID). 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 Text (F-57685r1186386_fix)

Install a HIDS and HIPS on each server.
