CCI-001095

Manage capacity, bandwidth, or other redundancy to limit the effects of information flooding types of denial-of-service attacks.

Implementation Guidance

The organization being inspected/assessed configures the information system to manage excess capacity, bandwidth, or other redundancy to limit the effects of information flooding types of denial of service attacks. For information system components that have applicable STIGs or SRGs, the organization being inspected/assessed must comply with the STIG/SRG guidance that pertains to CCI 1095.

Validation Procedures

The organization conducting the inspection/assessment examines the information system to ensure the organization being inspected/assessed configures the information system to manage excess capacity, bandwidth, or other redundancy to limit the effects of information flooding types of denial of service attacks. For information system components that have applicable STIGs or SRGs, the organization conducting the inspection/assessment evaluates the components to ensure that the organization being inspected/assessed has configured the information system in compliance with the applicable STIGs and SRGs pertaining to CCI 1095.

Compelling Evidence

1.) Organization configuration documentation on how the organization configures the information system to manage excess capacity, bandwidth, or other redundancy to limit the effects of information flooding types of DoS attacks. 2.) Applicable STIG/SRG checks.
