Thi ## V3.3 Session Timeout -Session timeouts have been aligned with NIST SP 800-63, which permits much longer session timeouts than traditionally permitted by security standards. Organizations are advised to review the table below. If a longer timeout is desired based on the application's risk profile, the NIST value should serve as the maximum limit for session idle timeouts. - -L1 in this context is IAL1/AAL1, L2 is IAL2/AAL3, L3 is IAL3/AAL3.

Previously, based on ISO 27002 requirements, the ASVS has required blocking multiple simultaneous sessions. Blocking simultaneous sessions is no longer appropriate, not only as modern users have many devices or the app is an API without a browser session, but in most of these implementations, the last authenticator wins, which is often the attacker. This section provides leading guidance on deterring, delaying and detecting session management attacks using code. +There are a small number of session management attacks, some related to the user experience (UX) of sessions.
