Antivirus/Antimalware
Use signatures or heuristics to detect malicious software. Within industrial control environments, antivirus/antimalware installations should be limited to assets that are not involved in critical or real-time operations. To minimize the impact to system availability, all products should first be validated within a representative test environment before deployment to production systems. [1]

| Domain | ID | Name | Use | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ICS | T0865 | Spearphishing Attachment |
Deploy anti-virus on all systems that support external email. |
|
| ICS | T0864 | Transient Cyber Asset |
Install anti-virus software on all workstation and transient assets that may have external access, such as to web, email, or remote file shares. |
|
| ICS | T0863 | User Execution |
Ensure anti-virus solution can detect malicious files that allow user execution (e.g., Microsoft Office Macros, program installers). |
