| Description |
| 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. Examples of unneeded services on TPS are web server, telnet, and TAXII. |
