Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

AC-7 Unsuccessful Logon Attempts good match

AC-7 directly enforces limits on consecutive failed logons, structurally blocking brute-force exploitation of the weakness.

Mitigating Controls (NIST CSF 2.0) AI

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.

DE.CM-03 partial match
blocks

Behavioral monitoring of authentication activity can detect excessive failed attempts after they occur.

PR.AA-03 partial match
blocks

Authentication enforcement directly includes lockout, throttling, and MFA policies that prevent brute-force attempts.

PR.PS-04 partial match
blocks

Generating auth logs enables later detection or forensics but does not itself restrict attempts.
