Compliance Node Overview
MITRE ATT&CK T0800 (Activate Firmware Update Mode) is an ATT&CK for ICS Inhibit Response Function technique. Adversaries may activate firmware update mode on devices to prevent expected response functions from engaging in reaction to an emergency or process malfunction. For example, devices such as protection relays may have an operation mode designed for firmware installation. This mode may halt process monitoring and related functions to allow new firmware to be loaded. A device left in update mode may be placed in an inactive holding state if no firmware is provided to it. Affected asset classes: None. MITRE-documented mitigations include M0807 Network Allowlists, M0804 Human User Authentication, M0813 Software Process and Device Authentication, M0802 Communication Authenticity, M0801 Access Management, M0937 Filter Network Traffic. Operational-technology controls map to NIST SP 800-82 Rev 3 and the IEC/ISA 62443 series.
