  name: Azure PostgreSQL Server Connection Throttling Disabled
  author: princechaddha
  severity: medium
  description: |
    Ensure that "connection_throttling" server parameter is enabled for all PostgreSQL database servers provisioned within your Microsoft Azure cloud account. The "connection_throttling" parameter enables temporary connection throttling per IP address for too many invalid login failures.
  impact: |
    Disabling the "connection_throttling" server parameter exposes your PostgreSQL databases to potential brute force or DDoS attacks by not limiting the rate of failed login attempts.
  remediation: |
    Enable the "connection_throttling" server parameter on your Azure PostgreSQL servers to prevent excessive failed login attempts and mitigate potential attacks.
