The operating system must employ automated mechanisms to determine the state of system components with regard to flaw remediation using the following frequency: continuously, where HBSS is used; 30 days, for any additional internal network scans not covered by HBSS; and annually, for external scans by Computer Network Defense Service Provider (CNDSP).

Description
An approved tool for continuous network scanning must be installed and configured to run. Without the use of automated mechanisms to scan for security flaws on a continuous and/or periodic basis, the operating system or other system components may remain vulnerable to the exploits presented by undetected software flaws. To support this requirement, the operating system may have an integrated solution incorporating continuous scanning using HBSS and periodic scanning using other tools, as specified in the requirement.

Check Text ( C-64077r1_chk )
Determine if an approved tool capable of continuous scanning is loaded on the system. The recommended system is the McAfee HBSS. If no such tool is installed on the system, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-69261r1_fix)
Install an approved HBSS solution onto the system.
