Enterprise T1046 Network Service Discovery

Ensure that unnecessary ports and services are closed to prevent risk of discovery and potential exploitation.

Enterprise T1137 Office Application Startup

Follow Office macro security best practices suitable for your environment. Disable Office VBA macros from executing. Disable Office add-ins. If they are required, follow best practices for securing them by requiring them to be signed and disabling user notification for allowing add-ins. For some add-ins types (WLL, VBA) additional mitigation is likely required as disabling add-ins in the Office Trust Center does not disable WLL nor does it prevent VBA code from executing. (Citation: MRWLabs Office Persistence Add-ins)

T1137.001 Office Template Macros

Follow Office macro security best practices suitable for your environment. Disable Office VBA macros from executing. Disable Office add-ins. If they are required, follow best practices for securing them by requiring them to be signed and disabling user notification for allowing add-ins. For some add-ins types (WLL, VBA) additional mitigation is likely required as disabling add-ins in the Office Trust Center does not disable WLL nor does it prevent VBA code from executing.
