Networking

The Networking group covers entries related to network infrastructure, connectivity, and traffic management. This includes virtual networks, subnets, load balancing, DNS, routing, peering, and network-level access controls.

  1. CCC.LB.CN01 Enforce and Detect Rate Limiting

    Objective

    Detect and throttle malicious or excessive requests to prevent downstream resource exhaustion and brute-force activity.

    Assessment requirements

    1. When a single client sends more than 2000 requests within any 5-minute sliding window, the load balancer MUST throttle all subsequent requests from that client for at least 60 seconds.

      Applicability: tlp-green, tlp-amber, tlp-red

    2. When throttling is invoked, the load balancer MUST record the event in the access log within 5 minutes for alerting and trend analysis.

      Applicability: tlp-green, tlp-amber, tlp-red

    Guidelines
    • NIST-CSF
      • DE.CM-1 — Monitor to detect events
      • PR.AC-7 — Prevent brute-force
      • PR.PT-4 — Protective technology
    • NIST_800_53
      • AU-6 — Audit review, analysis, reporting
      • SC-5 — Denial-of-Service protection
      • AC-7 — Unsuccessful logon attempts
    Threats
    • CCC.LB.Threats
      • CCC.LB.TH01 — Malicious Traffic
      • CCC.LB.TH09 — Resource Exhaustion

  2. CCC.LB.CN05 Validate Session Affinity

    Objective

    Configure session persistence to minimise fixation and hijacking risks.

    Assessment requirements

    1. When stickiness is enabled, session cookies MUST expire within 30 minutes of inactivity.

      Applicability: tlp-green, tlp-amber, tlp-red

    Guidelines
    • NIST-CSF
      • PR.AC-7 — Least functionality is enforced
    • NIST_800_53
      • SC-23 — Session authenticity
    Threats
    • CCC.LB.Threats
      • CCC.LB.TH04 — Session Persistence Exploited

  3. CCC.LB.CN07 Scrub Sensitive Headers

    Objective

    Remove headers that disclose internal details or software versions from HTTP responses.

    Assessment requirements

    1. When responses pass through the load balancer, the "Server" header MUST be replaced with "lb".

      Applicability: tlp-green, tlp-amber, tlp-red

    Guidelines
    • NIST-CSF
      • PR.DS-2 — Data in transit is protected
    • NIST_800_53
      • SC-13 — Cryptographic protection
    Threats
    • CCC.Core.Threats
      • CCC.Core.TH15 — Automated Enumeration and Reconnaissance by Non-human

Observability

The Observability group covers entries related to logging, monitoring, metrics, alerting, and event publication. This includes audit trail integrity, enumeration detection, and protection against tampering or unauthorized access to operational telemetry.

  1. CCC.LB.CN06 Secure Health-Check Telemetry

    Objective

    Monitor health-check endpoints for tampering and alert on abnormal status changes.

    Assessment requirements

    1. When more than 10 percent of targets change from healthy to unhealthy within five minutes, an alert MUST be issued.

      Applicability: tlp-green, tlp-amber, tlp-red

    Guidelines
    • NIST-CSF
      • DE.AE-2 — Detected events are analyzed
    • NIST_800_53
      • SI-4 — System monitoring
    Threats
    • CCC.LB.Threats
      • CCC.LB.TH05 — Health Checks Exploited

Access Control

The Access Control group covers entries related to authentication, authorization, and trust perimeter enforcement. This includes multi-factor authentication, least privilege access, network access rules, and prevention of unauthorized access or reconnaissance.

  1. CCC.LB.CN04 Enforce Distribution Policies

    Objective

    Ensure traffic-splitting weights and algorithms are modified only by trusted identities.

    Assessment requirements

    1. When routing weights change, the request MUST originate from an explicitly defined and trusted identity and MUST be logged.

      Applicability: tlp-green, tlp-amber, tlp-red
