MITRE ATT&CK CoA - T1573.002 - Asymmetric Cryptography

description: "This playbook Remediates the Standard Cryptographic Protocol technique using intelligence-driven Courses of Action (COA) defined by Palo Alto Networks Unit 42 team.\n \n***Disclaimer: This playbook does not simulate an attack using the specified technique, but follows the steps to remediation as defined by Palo Alto Networks Unit 42 team’s Actionable Threat Objects and Mitigations (ATOMs).\nTechniques Handled:\n- 1573.002: Encrypted Channel: Asymmetric Cryptography\n\nKill Chain phases:\n- Command And Control\n\nMITRE ATT&CK Description:\nAdversaries may employ a known asymmetric encryption algorithm to conceal command and control traffic rather than relying on any inherent protections provided by a communication protocol. Asymmetric cryptography, also known as public key cryptography, uses a keypair per party: one public that can be freely distributed, and one private. Due to how the keys are generated, the sender encrypts data with the receiver’s public key and the receiver decrypts the data with their private key. This ensures that only the intended recipient can read the encrypted data. Common public key encryption algorithms include RSA and ElGamal.\n\nFor efficiency, may protocols (including SSL/TLS) use symmetric cryptography once a connection is established, but use asymmetric cryptography to establish or transmit a key. As such, these protocols are classified as Asymmetric Cryptography.\n\nPossible playbook uses:\n- The playbook can be used independently to handle and remediate the specific technique.\n- The playbook can be used as a part of the “Courses of Action - Defense Evasion” playbook to remediate techniques based on the kill chain phase.\n- The playbook can be used as a part of the “MITRE ATT&CK - Courses of Action” playbook, which can be triggered by different sources and accepts the technique MITRE ATT&CK ID as an input."

        This playbook enforces the Anti-Spyware Best Practices Profile as defined by Palo Alto Networks BPA.
        The playbook performs the following tasks:
        - Check for DNS Security license (If license is not activated, the playbook refers users to their Palo Alto Networks account manager for further instructions).
        - Get the existing profile information.
        - Get the best practices profile information.
        - Check if the best practices profile set by Cortex XSOAR is enforced. (If not, the playbook allows the user to compare the existing profile with the best practices and decide on the action to take).
        - Create best practices profile.
        - Apply profile to policy rules on PAN-OS firewall or Panorama.
