The system must have a host-based intrusion detection tool installed.

Overview

Finding ID	Version	Rule ID	IA Controls	Severity
V-782	GEN006480	SV-782r7_rule	ECID-1	Medium

Description
Without a host-based intrusion detection tool, there is no system-level defense when an intruder gains access to a system or network. Additionally, a host-based intrusion detection tool can provide methods to immediately lock out detected intrusion attempts.

Ask the SA or IAO if a host-based intrusion detection application is loaded on the system.

Procedure to determine if the application is loaded on the system:
# find / -name -print

Determine if the application is active on the system.

Procedure:
# ps –ef | grep

If no host-based intrusion detection system is installed on the system, this is a finding.
