Failed to deploy HIPS Threat Prevention on Linux servers

[Mask118]

I am having issue to deploy HIPS Threat prevention on my Linux server  ( Red-hot 7.7 Maipo). I tried 3 different version of HIPS package 8.0.0.3881, 8.0.0.4468 and also 8.0.0.4623. All failed to deploy. Other products like ENS, ACCM and Policy Auditor are fine. Didn't have any issue with those except the HIPS. Wondering anyone having this issue? Is because of the product not compatible with my Linux server? how can we fix this?

Hi @Mask118,

Good day to you!

If you have ENSLTP installed on the machine already then HIPS installation will fail as they no longer co-exist. Please refer to the article below for detailed information.

I hope this helps.

I'm not sure if that the case here for me because some of my server didn't have ENS but still failed to install HIPS. From what you saying does that means for Linux from now on we either have ENS or HIPS we can't have both at the same time? Or this is just something temporary?

Hi @Mask118 

1. ENS Threat Prevention Linux is a replacement for the HIPS Linux product; it has overlapping Access Protection and Exploit Prevention functionality (introduced in the ENSL 10.7.2 version), so the two products installed together is not possible as mentioned in KB90896.

2. For Redhat 7.7, please make sure you are using HIPS 8.0 Patch 13 version (build number 8.0.0.5252), which is the minimum HIPS version for this operating system version.  Ref https://kc.mcafee.com/corporate/index?page=content&id=KB70778.
