IV-10-7 DoS
A Denial of Service (DoS) attack is a hacker attempt to make a device unavailable to its
users. DoS attacks saturate the device with external communication requests, so that it
cannot respond to legitimate traffic. These attacks usually lead to a device CPU overload.
The DoS protection feature is a set of predefined rules that protect the network from
malicious attacks. The DoS Security Suite Settings enables activating the security suite.
