Interview the SA to determine if there is a host-based Intrusion Detection System on each server. Severity Override: This finding can be downgraded to a Category III, if there is an active JIDS or Firewall protecting the network. Note: If the HIPS component of HBSS is installed and active on the host and the Alerts of blocked activity are being logged and monitored, this will meet the requirement of this finding. Note: A HID device is not required on a system that has the role as the Network Intrusion Device (NID). However, this exception needs to be documented with the site IAO.
