11.9 Configuring Attack Alert

Attack alerts are the first defense against DOS attacks. In the Attack Alert screen, shown later, you may
choose to generate an alert whenever an attack is detected. For DoS attacks, the ZyWALL uses thresholds to
determine when to drop sessions that do not become fully established. These thresholds apply globally to all
sessions.

You can use the default threshold values, or you can change them to values more suitable to your security
requirements.
