Denial of Service

Denial of Service are attacks designed to prevent a system from providing service, including by crashing it, making it unusably slow, or filling all its storage. These threats often falls toward the bottom of the stack, because they primarily impact availability and not confidentiality or integrity. Denial of service violates availability.

Typical threats include processes, data stores, or data flows.

Example Threats

• Network flooding;
• program resources;
• system resources.
