Compliance Node Overview
MITRE ATT&CK T1091 (Replication Through Removable Media) is an Enterprise Lateral Movement and Initial Access technique. Adversaries may move onto systems, possibly those on disconnected or air-gapped networks, by copying malware to removable media and taking advantage of Autorun features when the media is inserted into a system and executes. In the case of Lateral Movement, this may occur through modification of executable files stored on removable media or by copying malware and renaming it to look like a legitimate file to trick users into executing it on a separate system. Affected platforms: Windows. MITRE-documented mitigations include M1042 Disable or Remove Feature or Program, M1034 Limit Hardware Installation, M1040 Behavior Prevention on Endpoint. The Center for Threat-Informed Defense maps this technique to NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 controls AC-03, AC-06, CM-02, CM-06, CM-08, MP-07, RA-05, SC-41.
