+Time Providers Mitigation

Time Providers Mitigation

Identify and block potentially malicious software that may be executed as a time provider by using whitelisting[1] tools, like AppLocker,[2],[3] that are capable of auditing and/or blocking unknown DLLs.

Consider using Group Policy to configure and block subsequent modifications to W32Time parameters.[4]
