MTCS (Singapore) 14.8: Unnecessary services and protocols

Unnecessary services and protocols: system security parameters prevent misuse of services and protocols. Level 1 (a to c): only necessary, secure services, protocols and daemons enabled; those not required disabled; and inactive sessions shut down after a defined period. Level 2 adds stripping out functionality the system does not need, for example surplus scripts, drivers, features, subsystems, file systems and web servers; Level 3 is the same.
