This video explains how a DoS attack can occur and why DoS Protection Flood Protection Enabled is an important check to complete.

Denial of service protection against flooding of new sessions is beneficial against high volume, single session and multi session attacks. An attacker can either send packets at a very high rate through a single session, overwhelming the target, or use multiple session from a single host to launch a Denial of Service Protection (DoS) attack.The DoS Protection Flood Protection Enabled best practice check ensures that all flood thresholds are enabled and adjusted to your environment and no default thresholds are in place.
