Summary

All the workstations in production must have an unalterable security suite (Anti-virus, Antispyware, Host Firewall, Host-IDS, Host-IPS).

Description

The type of suites, such as Host-IDS, Host-Firewall and IPS are designed to detect and prevent unauthorized access, suspicious activities, and potential security breaches. They can identify patterns that indicate attacks and take proactive measures to block or mitigate them. In other words, the controls implemented by an unalterable security suite provides a multi-layered defense against a wide range of cybersecurity risks, including viruses, malware or spyware.
