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.

Detects the execution of previously unseen remote monitoring and management (RMM) tools or remote access software on compromised Windows endpoints, often leveraged for command-and-control, persistence, and execution of malicious commands.

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.
