Vulnerability discussion

Non-privileged users must not be able to alter intrusion detection and prevention systems to ensure these systems work properly.This can be accomplished through the use of user roles, use of proper systems permissions, auditing, logging, etc.

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.
