Control Statement
Protect the availability of resources by allocating [Assignment: organization-defined resources] by [Assignment (one or more): priority, quota, [Assignment: organization-defined controls] ].
Supplemental Guidance
Priority protection prevents lower-priority processes from delaying or interfering with the system that services higher-priority processes. Quotas prevent users or processes from obtaining more than predetermined amounts of resources.
