Finding ID	Version	Rule ID	IA Controls	Severity
V-782	GEN006480	SV-41526r1_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.
