UC-NET-06 — Enforce separation with hardware and software mechanisms
Employ hardware-enforced and software-enforced separation mechanisms to isolate critical security functions and enforce policy between execution domains. Use hardware-based protections such as write-protected or read-only memory, and load and execute key programs from hardware-enforced non-modifiable media so critical code cannot be altered at runtime.

- UC-NET-06 — Enforce separation with hardware and software mechanisms mitigates Malware delivery, insertion and compromise of systems
- strength
- related
- rationale
- Non-modifiable executables and hardware write-protection resist malware tampering with critical code, but sandbox detonation (UC-NET-10) and mobile-code/web filtering (UC-NET-13) are the operative anti-malware-delivery defenses.
