Explanation
Endpoint protection will take care of HIPS because they do the same thing. It will also take care of antivirus since Endpoint protection does that same function. Group policy only provides computer and user settings and will not stop a vulnerability from gaining accessing to the system. To mitigate this, you will need a firmware update to harden the OS and BIOS and patch management to ensure the update is applied accordingly.
