Assessment Title
Rule Text
The CA API Gateway must implement load balancing to limit the effects of known and unknown types of Denial of Service (DoS) attacks.
Description
Discussion Text
If the network does not provide safeguards against DoS attacks, network resources will be unavailable to users. Load balancing provides service redundancy, which reduces the susceptibility of the ALG to many DoS attacks.
The ALG must be configured to prevent or mitigate the impact on network availability and traffic flow of DoS attacks that have occurred or are ongoing.
This requirement applies to the network traffic functionality of the device as it pertains to handling network traffic. Some types of attacks may be specialized to certain network technologies, functions, or services. For each technology, known and potential DoS attacks must be identified and solutions for each type implemented.
The CA API Gateway is designed to run as a cluster behind any industry standard load balancer. When routing to back-end services, the Gateway itself can also provide load balancing across back ends as described in the Check and Fix content if needed to support additional protection against DoS attacks.
