Finding ID	Version	Rule ID	IA Controls	Severity

Description
System availability is a key tenet of system security. Organizations need to have the flexibility to be able to define the automated actions taken in response to an identified incident. This includes being able to define a least disruptive action the operating system takes to terminate suspicious events. The least disruptive actions may include initiating a request for human response. Permanent finding.
