Vulnerability discussion

Intrusion detection and prevention capabilities must be architected and implemented to prevent non-privileged users from circumventing such protections. This can be accomplished through the use of user roles, use of proper systems permissions, auditing, logging, etc.

Check content

The operator will ensure that DoD approved intrusion detection software is installed, operating, and updated monthly. The configurations will be updated regularly. The software will be maintained per vendor documentation. If the operator is unable to provide a documented configuration for an installed intrusion detection system or if the intrusion detection system is not properly configured, maintained or used, this is a finding.

Pro Tips

Lavender hyperlinks in small type off to the right (of CSS class id, if you view the page source) point to globally unique URIs for each document and item. Copy the link location and paste anywhere you need to talk unambiguously about these things.

You can obtain data about documents and items in other formats. Simply provide an HTTP header Accept: text/turtle or Accept: application/rdf+xml.
