What MITRE ATT&CK T1542.004: ROMMONkit (Enterprise Tactic TA0005 - Defense Evasion / TA0003 - Persistence) requires
MITRE ATT&CK T1542.004 (ROMMONkit) is an Enterprise Defense Evasion and Persistence sub-technique of T1542 (Pre-OS Boot). Adversaries may abuse the ROM Monitor (ROMMON) by loading an unauthorized firmware with adversary code to provide persistent access and manipulate device behavior that is difficult to detect. ROMMON is a Cisco network device firmware that functions as a boot loader, boot image, or boot helper to initialize hardware and software when the platform is powered on or reset. Affected platforms: Network. MITRE-documented mitigations include M1046 Boot Integrity, M1047 Audit, M1031 Network Intrusion Prevention. The Center for Threat-Informed Defense maps this technique to NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 controls AC-02, AC-03, AC-05, AC-06, CA-07, CM-02, CM-03, CM-05.
