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.

A malspam campaign is leveraging the Tiflux RMM to gain remote access and persistence on victim machines, abusing legitimate remote management software for stealthy access and persistence.

The presence of multiple remote monitoring and management (RMM) tools from different vendors on a single Windows host within a short time frame may indicate compromise, shadow IT, or attacker staging for redundant access.

Detection of DNS queries to remote monitoring and management (RMM) domains from non-browser processes indicating potential misuse of legitimate remote access tools for command and control.

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.
