Forensic identification is the practice of identifying infected hosts by looking for evidence of recent infections. The evidence may be very recent (only a few minutes old) or not so recent (hours or days old); the older the information is, the less accurate it is likely to be. The most obvious sources of evidence are those that are designed to identify malware activity, such as anti-virus software, content filtering (e.g., anti-spam measures), IPS, and SIEM technologies. The logs of security applications might contain detailed records of suspicious activity and might also indicate whether a security compromise occurred or was prevented.

While logging is imperative to forensic analysis, logs could grow to the point of impacting disk space on the system. To avoid the risk of logs growing to the size of impacting the operating system, the log size and number of log files will be restricted but must be large enough to retain forensic value.

Organizations should deploy anti-virus software on all hosts for which satisfactory anti-virus software is available. Anti-virus software should be installed as soon after operating system installation as possible and then updated with the latest anti-virus software patches (to eliminate any known vulnerabilities in the anti-virus software itself). To support the security of the host, the anti-virus software should be configured and maintained properly so it continues to be effective at detecting and stopping malware. McAfee MOVE AV Client will not function properly with other anti-virus products installed.

Organizations should use centrally managed anti-virus software that is controlled and monitored regularly by anti-virus administrators, who are also typically responsible for acquiring, testing, approving, and delivering anti-virus signature and software updates throughout the organization. Users should not be able to disable or delete anti-virus software from their hosts, nor should they be able to alter critical settings. Anti-virus administrators should perform continuous monitoring to confirm that hosts are using current anti-virus software and that the software is configured properly. Implementing all of these recommendations should strongly support an organization in having a strong and consistent anti-virus deployment across the organization.

This setting configures the amount of time, in seconds, to wait for a scan to complete. The default setting is 45 seconds. This is the duration for which a McAfee MOVE AV Agent will wait for scan response of a file from the Security Virtual Machine (SVM). Typically, file scans are very fast. However, file scans may take longer due to large file size, file type, or heavy load on the SVM. If the file scan takes longer than the scan timeout limit, the file access is allowed and a scan timeout event is generated. Setting the timeout too low may result in scans of a file terminating before the scan is completed, resulting in malware potentially going undetected.

This setting configures the maximum file size (in MB) up to which scan results should be cached. The default setting is 40 MB. Files smaller than this threshold are copied completely to the Security Virtual Machine (SVM) and scanned. If the file is found to be clean, its scan result is cached based on its SHA 1 checksum for faster future access. Files larger than this size threshold are transferred in chunks that are requested by the SVM and scanned. Setting that threshold higher could impact the performance of the scan processes.

Malware incident containment has two major components: stopping the spread of malware and preventing further damage to hosts. Disinfecting a file is generally preferable to quarantining it because the malware is removed and the original file restored; however, many infected files cannot be disinfected. The primary goal of eradication is to remove malware from infected hosts.

This setting configures the amount of time, in seconds, to wait for a scan to complete. The default setting is 45 seconds. This is the duration for which a McAfee MOVE AV Agent will wait for scan response of a file from the Security Virtual Machine (SVM). Typically, file scans are very fast. However, file scans may take longer due to large file size, file type, or heavy load on the SVM. If the file scan takes longer than the scan timeout limit, the file access is allowed and a scan timeout event is generated. Setting the timeout too low may result in scans of a file terminating before the scan is completed, resulting in malware potentially going undetected.

Organizations should use centrally managed anti-virus software that is controlled and monitored regularly by anti-virus administrators, who are also typically responsible for acquiring, testing, approving, and delivering anti-virus signature and software updates throughout the organization. Users should not be able to disable or delete anti-virus software from their hosts, nor should they be able to alter critical settings. Anti-virus administrators should perform continuous monitoring to confirm that hosts are using current anti-virus software and that the software is configured properly. Implementing all of these recommendations should strongly support an organization in having a strong and consistent anti-virus deployment across the organization.

Access the server designated as the McAfee MOVE SVM. In the taskbar, right-click the red McAfee Agent shield and select "McAfee Agent Status Monitor". Click the "Collect and Send Props" button. This will perform the ASCI, send the PROPS VERSION package to the ePO, and close the session. Click the "Enforce Policies" button. In the McAfee Agent Monitor, review the Management status lines and ensure one shows a status of "Enforcing Policies for DC_AM_4000" and "Enforcing Policies for DC_GS_4000". This status lines will confirm the system is enforcing policies for the McAfee MOVE AV SVM. If the system does not show "Agent started performing ASCI", followed by a sequence of status lines showing the "Agent is sending PROPS VERSION package to ePO server" and "Agent communication session closed", or does not show a Management status line of "Enforcing Policies for DC_AM_4000" and "Enforcing Policies for DC_GS_4000", this is a finding.

Due to the ability of malware to mutate after infection, standard anti-virus signatures may not be able to catch new strains or variants of the malware. Typically, these strains and variants will share unique characteristics with others in their virus family. By using a generic signature to detect the shared characteristics, using wildcards where differences lie, the generic signature can detect viruses even if they are padded with extra, meaningless code. This method of detection is heuristic detection.

Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) encoded files can be crafted to hide a malicious payload. When the MIME encoded file is presented to software that decodes the MIME encoded files, such as an email client, the malware is released. Scanning these files as part of the regularly scheduled scans tasks will mitigate this risk.

Anti-virus software vendors use collective intelligence from sensors and cross-vector intelligence from web, email, and network threats to compile scores that reflect the likelihood of whether a file in question is malware. The collective intelligence is constantly being updated, more frequently than the typical daily anti-virus signature files. With File Reputation lookup, a more real-time response to potential malicious code is realized than with the local-running anti-virus software, since by querying the cloud-based database when a file appears to be suspicious, up-to-the-minute intelligence is provided. This type of protection reduces the threat protection time period from days to milliseconds, increases malware detection rates, and reduces downtime and remediation costs associated with malware attacks. Using File Reputation lookup is mandated by USCYBERCOM on DoD systems.
