8.5: Configure Devices to Not Auto-Run Content ========================================================= Configure devices to not auto-run content from removable media. .. list-table:: :header-rows: 1 * - Asset Type - Security Function - Implementation Groups * - Devices - Protect - 1, 2, 3 Dependencies ------------ * Sub-control 1.4: Maintain Detailed Asset Inventory * Sub-control 5.1: Establish Secure Configurations Inputs ----------- #. Endpoint Inventory: Endpoint inventory #. Desired configuration(s) to disable auto-run. There may be multiple configurations targeted at different types of endpoints (for instance, a different configuration might be provided for each type of operating system used on the endpoints in the provided inventory). If the endpoints are capable of performing multiple types of auto-run behavior (i.e., auto-run vs. auto-play), appropriate configurations should be provided for each type. Operations ---------- #. For each endpoint in Input 1, compare the endpoint's configuration to the appropriate configuration from Input 2. Generate a list of endpoints that adhere to the specified configuration (M1) and a list of the endpoints that do not adhere to the specified configuration (M2). Assumption ^^^^^^^^^^ Endpoints that are not capable of performing any type of auto-run behavior would be included in the compliant list (M1). Measures -------- * M1 = List of endpoints adhering to the specified configuration (compliant list) * M2 = List of endpoints not adhering to the specified configuration (non-compliant list) * M3 = Count of endpoints in M1 (number of compliant endpoints) * M4 = Count of endpoints in M2 (number of non-compliant endpoints) * M5 = Count of endpoints in the endpoint inventory (Input 1) Metrics ------- .. list-table:: * - **Metric** - The ratio of endpoints properly disabling auto-run to the total number of endpoints? * - **Calculation** - :code:`M3 / M5` .. history .. authors .. license
