Enterprise Mitigations

ID	Name	Description
M1036	Account Use Policies	Configure features related to account use like login attempt lockouts, specific login times, etc.
M1015	Active Directory Configuration	Configure Active Directory to prevent use of certain techniques; use SID Filtering, etc.
M1049	Antivirus/Antimalware	Use signatures or heuristics to detect malicious software.
M1013	Application Developer Guidance	This mitigation describes any guidance or training given to developers of applications to avoid introducing security weaknesses that an adversary may be able to take advantage of.
M1048	Application Isolation and Sandboxing	Restrict execution of code to a virtual environment on or in transit to an endpoint system.
M1047	Audit	Perform audits or scans of systems, permissions, insecure software, insecure configurations, etc. to identify potential weaknesses.
M1040	Behavior Prevention on Endpoint	Use capabilities to prevent suspicious behavior patterns from occurring on endpoint systems. This could include suspicious process, file, API call, etc. behavior.
M1046	Boot Integrity	Use secure methods to boot a system and verify the integrity of the operating system and loading mechanisms.
M1045	Code Signing	Enforce binary and application integrity with digital signature verification to prevent untrusted code from executing.
M1043	Credential Access Protection	Use capabilities to prevent successful credential access by adversaries; including blocking forms of credential dumping.
M1053	Data Backup	Take and store data backups from end user systems and critical servers. Ensure backup and storage systems are hardened and kept separate from the corporate network to prevent compromise.
M1057	Data Loss Prevention	Use a data loss prevention (DLP) strategy to categorize sensitive data, identify data formats indicative of personal identifiable information (PII), and restrict exfiltration of sensitive data.
M1042	Disable or Remove Feature or Program	Remove or deny access to unnecessary and potentially vulnerable software to prevent abuse by adversaries.
M1055	Do Not Mitigate	This category is to associate techniques that mitigation might increase risk of compromise and therefore mitigation is not recommended.
M1041	Encrypt Sensitive Information	Protect sensitive information with strong encryption.
M1039	Environment Variable Permissions	Prevent modification of environment variables by unauthorized users and groups.
M1038	Execution Prevention	Block execution of code on a system through application control, and/or script blocking.
M1050	Exploit Protection	Use capabilities to detect and block conditions that may lead to or be indicative of a software exploit occurring.
M1037	Filter Network Traffic	Use network appliances to filter ingress or egress traffic and perform protocol-based filtering. Configure software on endpoints to filter network traffic.
M1035	Limit Access to Resource Over Network	Prevent access to file shares, remote access to systems, unnecessary services. Mechanisms to limit access may include use of network concentrators, RDP gateways, etc.
M1034	Limit Hardware Installation	Block users or groups from installing or using unapproved hardware on systems, including USB devices.
M1033	Limit Software Installation	Block users or groups from installing unapproved software.
M1032	Multi-factor Authentication	Use two or more pieces of evidence to authenticate to a system; such as username and password in addition to a token from a physical smart card or token generator.
M1031	Network Intrusion Prevention	Use intrusion detection signatures to block traffic at network boundaries.
M1030	Network Segmentation	Architect sections of the network to isolate critical systems, functions, or resources. Use physical and logical segmentation to prevent access to potentially sensitive systems and information. Use a DMZ to contain any internet-facing services that should not be exposed from the internal network. Configure separate virtual private cloud (VPC) instances to isolate critical cloud systems.
M1028	Operating System Configuration	Make configuration changes related to the operating system or a common feature of the operating system that result in system hardening against techniques.
M1027	Password Policies	Set and enforce secure password policies for accounts.
M1056	Pre-compromise	This category is used for any applicable mitigation activities that apply to techniques occurring before an adversary gains Initial Access, such as Reconnaissance and Resource Development techniques.
M1026	Privileged Account Management	Manage the creation, modification, use, and permissions associated to privileged accounts, including SYSTEM and root.
M1025	Privileged Process Integrity	Protect processes with high privileges that can be used to interact with critical system components through use of protected process light, anti-process injection defenses, or other process integrity enforcement measures.
M1029	Remote Data Storage	Use remote security log and sensitive file storage where access can be controlled better to prevent exposure of intrusion detection log data or sensitive information.
M1022	Restrict File and Directory Permissions	Restrict access by setting directory and file permissions that are not specific to users or privileged accounts.
M1044	Restrict Library Loading	Prevent abuse of library loading mechanisms in the operating system and software to load untrusted code by configuring appropriate library loading mechanisms and investigating potential vulnerable software.
M1024	Restrict Registry Permissions	Restrict the ability to modify certain hives or keys in the Windows Registry.
M1021	Restrict Web-Based Content	Restrict use of certain websites, block downloads/attachments, block Javascript, restrict browser extensions, etc.
M1054	Software Configuration	Implement configuration changes to software (other than the operating system) to mitigate security risks associated to how the software operates.
M1020	SSL/TLS Inspection	Break and inspect SSL/TLS sessions to look at encrypted web traffic for adversary activity.
M1019	Threat Intelligence Program	A threat intelligence program helps an organization generate their own threat intelligence information and track trends to inform defensive priorities to mitigate risk.
M1051	Update Software	Perform regular software updates to mitigate exploitation risk.
M1052	User Account Control	Configure Windows User Account Control to mitigate risk of adversaries obtaining elevated process access.
M1018	User Account Management	Manage the creation, modification, use, and permissions associated to user accounts.
M1017	User Training	Train users to be aware of access or manipulation attempts by an adversary to reduce the risk of successful spearphishing, social engineering, and other techniques that involve user interaction.
M1016	Vulnerability Scanning	Vulnerability scanning is used to find potentially exploitable software vulnerabilities to remediate them.
