Assessment Title
Rule Text
The IDPS must be configured to remove or disable non-essential capabilities which are not required for operation or not related to IDPS functionality (e.g., DNS, email client or server, FTP server, or web server).
Description
Discussion Text
An IDPS can be capable of providing a wide variety of capabilities. Not all of these capabilities are necessary. Unnecessary services, functions, and applications increase the attack surface (sum of attack vectors) of a system. These unnecessary capabilities are often overlooked and therefore may remain unsecured.
