Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

Access enforcement requires verifying that state-changing requests originate from the authenticated user rather than a forged cross-site source.

Protecting session authenticity prevents attackers from replaying or forging authenticated requests via the victim's browser.

By denying access to phishing or malicious sites, the control lowers the likelihood that a user will be tricked into submitting a forged request that performs an unintended action on another site.
