This brief details the detection of DNS queries targeting commonly abused Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM) or remote access software domains, originating from non-browser processes, which is a common tactic for command and control, persistence, and lateral movement by threat actors.

This brief describes a behavioral detection for Windows hosts where two or more distinct remote monitoring and management (RMM) or remote-access tools from different vendors are observed starting processes within an eight-minute window, indicating potential compromise, shadow IT, or attacker staging of redundant access.

This detection identifies a Windows host where two or more distinct remote monitoring and management (RMM) or remote-access tool vendors are observed starting processes within the same eight-minute window, potentially indicating compromise, shadow IT, or attacker staging of redundant access.
