Overview

Finding ID Version Rule ID IA Controls Severity
V-80423 BROM-00-000005 SV-95127r1_rule Medium
Description
Application management includes the ability to control the number of users and user sessions that utilize an application. Limiting the number of allowed users and sessions per user is helpful in limiting risks related to denial-of-service (DoS) attacks. This requirement addresses concurrent sessions for information system accounts and does not address concurrent sessions by single users via multiple system accounts. The maximum number of concurrent sessions should be defined based on mission needs and the operational environment for each system. Edit the BEC configuration file (C:\ProgramData\Bromium\BMS\settings.json) to set the concurrent session parameter. The options are "unlimited" and "1". Unlimited is not a valid selection in DoD.
