Check Text ( C-46922r3_chk )
Determine whether there is a host-based Intrusion Detection System on each server. 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. 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 ISSO. If a host-based Intrusion Detection System is not installed on the system, this is a finding.
