T1474.002: Compromise Hardware Supply Chain

ShareXLinkedInRedditHN

Adversaries may manipulate hardware components in products prior to receipt by a final consumer for the purpose of data or system compromise. By modifying hardware or firmware in the supply chain, adversaries can insert a backdoor into consumer networks that may be difficult to detect and give the adversary a high degree of control over the system.

M1001Security Updates

Install security updates in response to discovered vulnerabilities. Purchase devices with a vendor and/or mobile carrier commitment to provide security updates in a prompt manner for a set period of time. Decommission devices that will no longer receive security updates. Limit or block access to enterprise resources from devices that have not installed recent security updates. On Android devices, access can be controlled based on each device's security patch level. On iOS devices, access can be controlled based on the iOS version.
