During a threat model review for an electric utility SCADA deployment, an analyst wants to categorize device reboot attacks under TA0108 Lateral Movement or TA0109 Evasion. Under which ATT&CK for ICS kill chain phase is T0816 Device Restart/Shutdown officially categorized?
| Checked | Without skill | With skill |
|---|---|---|
| The kill chain classification specifies TA0107 Inhibit Response Function. | Missed | Passed |

Adversaries may forcibly restart or shutdown a device in an ICS environment to disrupt and potentially negatively impact physical processes. Methods of device restart and shutdown exist in some devices as built-in, standard functionalities. These functionalities can be executed using interactive device web interfaces, CLIs, and network protocol commands.
Unexpected restart or shutdown of control system devices may prevent expected response functions happening during critical states.
A device restart can also be a sign of malicious device modifications, as many updates require a shutdown in order to take effect.
Platforms: ICS
Determine if the target ICS/SCADA environment is susceptible to Device Restart/Shutdown by examining operational technology systems and network architecture.
Review whether mitigations for T0816 are in place. If defenses are absent or misconfigured, this technique may be exploitable in the ICS environment.
Use host-based allowlists to prevent devices from accepting connections from unauthorized systems. For example, allowlists can be used to ensure devices can only connect with master stations or known management/engineering workstations.
