Alternatives
Setting a small filtering router or firewall between the management stations and the rest of the network can improve overall security. This setup will allow management traffic to flow only in the specific direction deemed necessary by the administrators. If the level of trust within the organization is high, HIDS can potentially be eliminated, though this is not recommended.
