Have the SCA display the services running on the IDPS components. Review the IDPS configuration to determine if non-essential capabilities not required for operation, or not related to IDPS functionality (e.g., DNS, email client or server, FTP server, or web server) are enabled.

If the IDPS is not 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), this is a finding.
