Assessment Title
Rule Text
The NSX Manager must be configured to protect against denial-of-service (DoS) attacks by limit the number of concurrent sessions to an organization-defined number.
Description
Discussion Text
DoS is a condition when a resource is not available for legitimate users. When this occurs, the organization either cannot accomplish its mission or must operate at degraded capacity.
Limiting the number of concurrent open sessions helps limit the risk of DoS attacks.
Organizations may define the maximum number of concurrent sessions for system accounts globally or by connection type. By default, the NSX Manager has a protection mechanism in place to prevent the API from being overloaded. This setting also addresses concurrent sessions for integrations into NSX API to monitor or configure NSX.
