MITRE ATT&CK® Technique

T1119: Automated Collection

Once established within a system or network, an adversary may use automated techniques for collecting internal data. Methods for performing this technique could include use of a Command and Scripting Interpreter to search for and copy information fitting set criteria such as file type, location, or name at specific time intervals.

In cloud-based environments, adversaries may also use cloud APIs, data pipelines, command line interfaces, or extract, transform, and load (ETL) services to automatically collect data.[1]

This functionality could also be built into remote access tools.

This technique may incorporate use of other techniques such as File and Directory Discovery and Lateral Tool Transfer to identify and move files, as well as Cloud Service Dashboard and Cloud Storage Object Discovery to identify resources in cloud environments.

Glexia's Take · Automated analysis

Security context for executives and security teams

Automation confidenceHigh

Automated Collection matters because it turns a foothold into repeatable, scalable internal data gathering across endpoints, cloud, SaaS, Office suites, and infrastructure environments. For leaders, the key issue is not just whether an attacker can access one file, but whether they can quietly script or automate collection of many sensitive files, objects, or datasets before defenders notice.

Executive priority

Prioritize this technique where sensitive business data, regulated records, security logs, or cloud-hosted datasets are broadly accessible. Executives should ask whether the organization can prove who accessed, searched, copied, or staged sensitive data across Windows, Linux, macOS, IaaS, SaaS, and Office Suite environments. ATT&CK relationships also show this behavior is used by multiple campaigns and groups, making it a common enough collection pattern to justify control validation, audit evidence review, and incident response playbooks.

Technical view

SOC and IR teams should validate visibility into scripted file searches, bulk copy activity, recurring collection jobs, remote access tool behavior that gathers files, and cloud/API-driven data collection. The technique explicitly connects to command and scripting interpreters, file and directory discovery, lateral tool transfer, cloud service dashboards, and cloud storage object discovery, so detection should correlate discovery, enumeration, copying, and unusual API or ETL activity rather than relying on a single event. The supplied relationship to DET0186 indicates a relevant detection strategy: Automated File and API Collection Detection Across Platforms.

Likely telemetry

  • Endpoint process creation and command-line telemetry for scripting interpreters and file-copy utilities
  • File system audit events showing searches, reads, copies, archive/staging behavior, or repeated access by file type, path, or name
  • Scheduled or recurring execution evidence when collection occurs at intervals
  • Remote access tool activity where available from endpoint or management logs
  • Cloud control-plane and API audit logs for object listing, object reads, exports, data pipeline activity, CLI use, and ETL service activity

Detection direction

  • Validate coverage across all supported platforms listed by ATT&CK: IaaS, Linux, macOS, Office Suite, SaaS, and Windows.
  • Tune analytics for sequences: discovery or enumeration followed by bulk reads, copies, exports, or staging activity.
  • Baseline legitimate administrative, backup, indexing, eDiscovery, ETL, and data pipeline behavior to reduce false positives.
  • Look for automation indicators such as repeated access patterns, scripted command lines, service-account-driven collection, or unusual time intervals.
  • Correlate endpoint and cloud/SaaS evidence; endpoint-only monitoring can miss API-based collection, while cloud-only monitoring can miss local scripted file collection.

Mitigation priorities

  • Identify and reduce unnecessary access to sensitive repositories so automated collection yields less data if an account or host is compromised.
  • Apply M1041 Encrypt Sensitive Information for data at rest, in transit, and during processing where appropriate, especially for sensitive files and datasets.
  • Apply M1029 Remote Data Storage for critical logs and sensitive evidence so responders retain forensic visibility even if endpoints are accessed or tampered with.
  • Review cloud API, CLI, ETL, and data pipeline permissions to limit unnecessary bulk collection paths.
  • Ensure centralized logging and retention cover endpoint, SaaS, Office Suite, and IaaS environments involved in sensitive data handling.
Additional notes and limits

This object is a broad collection technique rather than a specific tool or exploit. Its business relevance is strongest in environments with sensitive internal data, cloud storage, SaaS repositories, Office Suite content, or automated data pipelines. ATT&CK relationships list many campaigns and groups using this technique, but that does not by itself prove current targeting or exposure for any specific organization.

The official ATT&CK detection field is not provided. The related detection strategy name is available, but detailed analytics are not included in the supplied data. No specific products, log schemas, indicators, or guaranteed detections are supplied. Local architecture, data classification, access patterns, and logging maturity are required to assess actual risk and coverage.

Mitigations

Mitigation direction

MitigationEnterprise

M1029: Remote Data Storage

Remote Data Storage focuses on moving critical data, such as security logs and sensitive files, to secure, off-host locations to minimize unauthorized access, tampering, or destruction by adversaries. By leveraging remote storage solutions, organizations enhance the protection of forensic evidence, sensitive information, and monitoring data. This mitigation can be implemented through the following measures:

Centralized Log Management:

- Configure endpoints to forward security logs to a centralized log collector or SIEM. - Use tools like Splunk Graylog, or Security Onion to aggregate and store logs. - Example command (Linux): `sudo auditd | tee /var/log/audit/audit.log | nc 514`

Remote File Storage Solutions:

- Utilize cloud storage solutions like AWS S3, Google Cloud Storage, or Azure Blob Storage for sensitive data. - Ensure proper encryption at rest and access control policies (IAM roles, ACLs).

Intrusion Detection Log Forwarding:

- Forward logs from IDS/IPS systems (e.g., Zeek/Suricata) to a remote security information system. - Example for Suricata log forwarding: `outputs: - type: syslog protocol: tls address: `

Immutable Backup Configurations:

- Enable immutable storage settings for backups to prevent adversaries from modifying or deleting data. - Example: AWS S3 Object Lock.

Data Encryption:

- Ensure encryption for sensitive data using AES-256 at rest and TLS 1.2+ for data in transit. Tools: OpenSSL, BitLocker, LUKS for Linux.

MitigationEnterprise

M1041: Encrypt Sensitive Information

Protect sensitive information at rest, in transit, and during processing by using strong encryption algorithms. Encryption ensures the confidentiality and integrity of data, preventing unauthorized access or tampering. This mitigation can be implemented through the following measures:

Encrypt Data at Rest:

- Use Case: Use full-disk encryption or file-level encryption to secure sensitive data stored on devices. - Implementation: Implement BitLocker for Windows systems or FileVault for macOS devices to encrypt hard drives.

Encrypt Data in Transit:

- Use Case: Use secure communication protocols (e.g., TLS, HTTPS) to encrypt sensitive data as it travels over networks. - Implementation: Enable HTTPS for all web applications and configure mail servers to enforce STARTTLS for email encryption.

Encrypt Backups:

- Use Case: Ensure that backup data is encrypted both during storage and transfer to prevent unauthorized access. - Implementation: Encrypt cloud backups using AES-256 before uploading them to Amazon S3 or Google Cloud.

Encrypt Application Secrets:

- Use Case: Store sensitive credentials, API keys, and configuration files in encrypted vaults. - Implementation: Use HashiCorp Vault or AWS Secrets Manager to manage and encrypt secrets.

Database Encryption:

- Use Case: Enable Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) or column-level encryption in database management systems. - Implementation: Use MySQL’s built-in encryption features to encrypt sensitive database fields such as social security numbers.
