What is the Fail-safe approach? - Web Security

What is the Fail-safe approach?

- Fail-safe approach defines the level that divides the security such that it is safe even in case the system is failed.

- The fail safe approach doesn’t allow an attacker to take the advantage by breaking in the system and crashes out.

- This approach allows the web server to perform the routines even if the system runs out of the memory in case of any attack.

- The system in attacks doesn’t skip the access to the control check or it doesn’t skip serving any document requested.

- Fail safe approach can force the web server to run of the memory and have a DoS attack.
