RE: using HIDS for change control

["Rivera,Angel L." <ARIVERA () mitre org>]

Does anyone on this list know of a sponsor that is using HIDS to monitor
changes to a system's (Unix & Windows) configuration?
 
The goal is to build a server according to specs (this would include
hardening of the OS + agency specific security settings) then use a HIDS
to detect and alert on any changes.
 
Theoretically speaking, I know this can be done, but is anyone doing
this?
