T1565 Data Manipulation Mappings

Adversaries may insert, delete, or manipulate data in order to manipulate external outcomes or hide activity. By manipulating data, adversaries may attempt to affect a business process, organizational understanding, or decision making.

The type of modification and the impact it will have depends on the target application and process as well as the goals and objectives of the adversary. For complex systems, an adversary would likely need special expertise and possibly access to specialized software related to the system that would typically be gained through a prolonged information gathering campaign in order to have the desired impact.

azure_security_center_recommendations Azure Security Center Recommendations technique_scores T1565 Data Manipulation
Comments
This control's "Immutable (read-only) root filesystem should be enforced for containers" recommendation can lead to mitigating a sub-technique of this technique by preventing modification of the local filesystem. Due to it being a recommendation and mitigating only one sub-technique, its score is assessed as Minimal.
