Title

The Oracle Linux operating system must implement the Endpoint Security for Linux Threat Prevention tool. (Cat II impact)

Discussion

Adding endpoint security tools can provide the capability to take actions automatically in response to malicious behavior, which can provide additional agility in reacting to network threats. These tools often include a reporting capability to provide network awareness of the system, which may not otherwise exist in an organization's systems management regime.
