description: "This playbook Remediates the Disable or Modify Tools 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- T1562.001: Impair Defenses: Disable or Modify Tools\n\nKill Chain phases:\n- Defense Evasion\n\nMITRE ATT&CK Description:\nAdversaries may disable security tools to avoid possible detection of their tools and activities. This can take the form of killing security software or event logging processes, deleting Registry keys so that tools do not start at run time, or other methods to interfere with security tools scanning or reporting information.\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.\n\n" id: MITRE ATT&CK CoA - T1562.001 - Disable or Modify Tools inputs: [] name: MITRE ATT&CK CoA - T1562.001 - Disable or Modify Tools outputs: - contextPath: Handled.Techniques description: The techniques handled in this playbook type: unknown starttaskid: "0" tasks: "0": id: "0" ignoreworker: false nexttasks: '#none#': - "4" note: false quietmode: 0 separatecontext: false skipunavailable: false task: brand: "" id: 8b55d6be-bc80-443f-8617-a7b0f20cbd57 iscommand: false name: "" version: -1 description: '' taskid: 8b55d6be-bc80-443f-8617-a7b0f20cbd57 timertriggers: [] type: start view: |- { "position": { "x": 50, "y": -300 } } "1": id: "1" ignoreworker: false nexttasks: '#none#': - "3" note: false quietmode: 0 separatecontext: false skipunavailable: false task: brand: "" description: Manual - Configure XDR Behavioral Threat Protection under the Malware Security Profile. id: f2802473-aa9a-4d7c-889b-4c32e7a24128 iscommand: false name: Manual - Configure XDR Behavioral Threat Protection under the Malware Security Profile type: regular version: -1 taskid: f2802473-aa9a-4d7c-889b-4c32e7a24128 timertriggers: [] type: regular view: |- { "position": { "x": 50, "y": 195 } } "2": id: "2" ignoreworker: false note: false quietmode: 0 separatecontext: false skipunavailable: false task: brand: "" id: 028b6b84-667a-4be6-8b73-f17b996678cc iscommand: false name: Done type: title version: -1 description: '' taskid: 028b6b84-667a-4be6-8b73-f17b996678cc timertriggers: [] type: title view: |- { "position": { "x": 50, "y": 725 } } "3": id: "3" ignoreworker: false nexttasks: '#none#': - "6" note: false quietmode: 0 scriptarguments: append: simple: "true" key: simple: Handled.Techniques stringify: {} value: simple: T1562.001 separatecontext: false skipunavailable: false task: brand: "" description: Set a value in context under the key you entered. id: 5a55b730-b809-42bf-82bd-13302cbe5aba iscommand: false name: Set technique handled script: Set type: regular version: -1 taskid: 5a55b730-b809-42bf-82bd-13302cbe5aba timertriggers: [] type: regular view: |- { "position": { "x": 50, "y": 370 } } "4": id: "4" ignoreworker: false nexttasks: '#default#': - "5" "yes": - "1" note: false quietmode: 0 scriptarguments: brandname: simple: Cortex XDR - IR separatecontext: false skipunavailable: false task: brand: "" description: Returns 'yes' if integration brand is available.
