Security Software Footprinting

Description

Adversaries may attempt to get a listing of security tools that are installed on the system and their configurations. This may include security related system features (such as a built-in firewall or anti-spyware) as well as third-party security software.

Mitigations

Identify programs that may be used to acquire security tool information and block them by using a software restriction policy or tools that restrict program execution by using a process allowlist.
