This detection identifies the download and execution of Windows Installer (MSI) packages from the internet that result in the installation of remote monitoring and management (RMM) software used for persistent system access.

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 rule identifies Windows hosts 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.

Detects process creation events indicative of remote management tools, potentially signifying legitimate use or malicious exploitation by threat actors abusing RMM software.
