Likely Mitigating Controls AI
Per-CVE control mapping for this CVE has not run yet; the list below is derived from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry.
This control directly enforces limits on consecutive invalid logon attempts and automatic response (e.g., lockout) to prevent brute-force exploitation of authentication mechanisms.
Specific conditions can include excessive failed attempts, triggering stronger authentication that restricts brute-force exploitation.
The control requires defining frequency, timing, and approval for security interactions, directly addressing uncontrolled interaction rates.
Allocation policies inherently restrict interaction frequency, reducing the impact of excessive requests.
Spam protection explicitly controls interaction frequency by detecting and acting on bulk unsolicited messages from external sources.
