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.

Attackers are leveraging MSI installers to deploy remote management software (RMM) such as ScreenConnect, Syncro, and VNC, potentially indicating unauthorized access and control over compromised systems.

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.
