Description
An IDPS can be capable of providing a wide variety of capabilities. Not all of these capabilities are necessary. Unnecessary services, functions, and applications increase the attack surface (sum of attack vectors) of a system. These unnecessary capabilities are often overlooked and therefore may remain unsecured. This requirement applies to unnecessary features of the IDPS application itself.
