+Inhibit System Recovery Mitigation

Inhibit System Recovery Mitigation

Consider technical controls to prevent the disabling of services or deletion of files involved in system recovery.

Consider implementing IT disaster recovery plans that contain procedures for taking regular data backups that can be used to restore organizational data.[1] Ensure backups are stored off system and is protected from common methods adversaries may use to gain access and destroy the backups to prevent recovery.

Identify potentially malicious software and audit and/or block it by using whitelisting[2] tools, like AppLocker,[3],[4] or Software Restriction Policies[5] where appropriate.[6]
