Denial of service strategies - 1431 |
|
n/a |
Denial-of-service attack prevention and mitigation strategies are discussed with cloud service providers, specifically:
• their capacity to withstand denial-of-service attacks
• any costs likely to be incurred as a result of denial-of-service attacks
• thresholds for notification of denial-of-service attacks
• thresholds for turning off online services during denial-of-service attacks
• pre-approved actions that can be undertaken during denial-of-service attacks
• denial-of-service attack prevention arrangements with upstream service providers to block malicious traffic as far upstream as possible. |

Deny communications with known malicious IP addresses |
Customer |
Enable DDoS Standard protection on your Azure Virtual Networks to guard against DDoS attacks. Use Azure Security Center Integrated Threat Intelligence to deny communications with known malicious IP addresses.
Deploy Azure Firewall at each of the organization's network boundaries with Threat Intelligence enabled and configured to "Alert and deny" for malicious network traffic.
Use Azure Security Center Just In Time Network access to configure NSGs to limit exposure of endpoints to approved IP addresses for a limited period.
Use Azure Security Center Adaptive Network Hardening to recommend NSG configurations that limit ports and source IPs based on actual traffic and threat intelligence.

Protect applications and services from external network attacks |
Customer |
Protect Azure resources against attacks from external networks, including distributed denial of service (DDoS) Attacks, application specific attacks, and unsolicited and potentially malicious internet traffic. Azure includes native capabilities for this:
- Use Azure Firewall to protect applications and services against potentially malicious traffic from the internet and other external locations.
- Use Web Application Firewall (WAF) capabilities in Azure Application Gateway, Azure Front Door, and Azure Content Delivery Network (CDN) to protect your applications, services, and APIs against application layer attacks.
- Protect your assets against DDoS attacks by enabling DDoS protection on your Azure virtual networks.
- Use Azure Security Center to detect misconfiguration risks related to the above.

The information system protects against or limits the effects of the following types of denial of service attacks: [Assignment: organization-defined types of denial of service attacks or reference to source for such information] by employing [Assignment: organization-defined security safeguards].
Supplemental Guidance: A variety of technologies exist to limit, or in some cases, eliminate the effects of denial of service attacks. For example, boundary protection devices can filter certain types of packets to protect information system components on internal organizational networks from being directly affected by denial of service attacks. Employing increased capacity and bandwidth combined with service redundancy may also reduce the susceptibility to denial of service attacks. Related controls: SC-6, SC-7.

18.3.19 Content of a Denial of Service (DoS) response plan |
Customer |
n/a |
An VTC or IPT DoS response plan will need to address the following:
how to identify the source of the DoS, either internal or external (location and content of logs);
how to diagnose the incident or attack type and attack method;
how to minimise the effect on VTC or IPT, of a DoS of the data network (e.g. Internet or internal DoS), including separate links to other office locations for VTC and IPT and/or quality of service prioritisation;
strategies that can mitigate the DOS (banning certain devices/Ips at the call controller and firewalls, implementing quality of service, changing VoIP authentication, changing dial-in authentication; and
alternative communication options (such as designated devices or personal mobile phones) that have been identified for use in case of an emergency. |
