The IDPS must protect against or limits the effects of Denial of Service (DoS) attacks.

Overview

Finding ID	Version	Rule ID	IA Controls	Severity
SRG-NET-000191-IDPS-NA	SRG-NET-000191-IDPS-NA	SRG-NET-000191-IDPS-NA_rule		Medium

Description
An IDPS experiencing a DoS attack will not be able to handle production traffic load. The high utilization and CPU caused by a DoS attack will also have an effect on control keep-alives and timers used for neighbor peering resulting in route flapping and eventually black hole production traffic. The device must be configured to thwart, counter, or prevent such attacks. HIDS is not within the scope of this document.
