Kona Site Defender providing content filtering must protect against known and unknown types of denial-of-service (DoS) attacks by employing rate-based attack prevention behavior analysis.
If the network does not provide safeguards against DoS attacks, network resources may not be available to users during an attack. Installation of content filtering gateways and application layer f...Rule Medium Severity -

The content of the drawer really is up to you. It could have form fields, definition lists, text lists, labels, charts, progress bars, etc. Spacing recommendation is 24px margins. You can put tabs in here, and can also make the drawer scrollable.
