Title
Protections against DoS attacks must be implemented.
Control
Ask the application representative for the threat model document. Examine the threat model document and determine if DoS attacks are specified as a threat. If there are no DoS threats identified in the threat model, the requirement is not applicable. Verify the mitigations provided for DoS attacks are implemented from the threat model. If mitigations for DoS attacks are identified in the threat model but are not implemented, this is a finding.
Discussion
Known DoS threats documented in the threat model should be mitigated, to prevent DoS type attacks.
