How Threat Actors Abuse Remote Management Tools | Huntress

Threat actors are increasingly abusing remote monitoring and management (RMM) tools to gain initial access, maintain persistence, and evade detection by daisy chaining multiple RMM software instances. This technique represents a significant tactical shift in how attackers leverage legitimate administrative tools for malicious purposes.

Why it matters: Organizations using RMM tools for legitimate management need to understand how attackers exploit these same tools to move laterally and hide in plain sight, requiring immediate attention to RMM access controls, logging, and monitoring.
