Assessment Title
Rule Text
The Juniper Networks SRX Series Gateway IDPS must protect against or limit the effects of known and unknown types of Denial of Service (DoS) attacks by employing rate-based attack prevention behavior analysis.
Description
Discussion Text
If the network does not provide safeguards against DoS attack, network resources will be unavailable to users.
Installation of IDPS detection and prevention components (i.e., sensors) at key boundaries in the architecture mitigates the risk of DoS attacks. These attacks can be detected by matching observed communications traffic with patterns of known attacks and monitoring for anomalies in traffic volume/type.
Detection components that use rate-based behavior analysis can detect attacks when signatures for the attack do not exist or are not installed. These attacks include zero-day attacks which are new attacks for which vendors have not yet developed signatures. Rate-based behavior analysis can detect sophisticated, Distributed DoS (DDoS) attacks by correlating traffic information from multiple network segments or components.
The Juniper SRX must be configured with screens using the Firewall STIG, but must also be configured for anomaly-based protection using various locally developed anomaly-based attack objects.
