RMM Abuse: When IT Convenience Bites Back
Remote monitoring and management (RMM) abuse has surged 277 percent as attackers exploit these widely trusted IT tools to establish covert access to networks. The trend reflects a shift in adversary tactics away from isolated attacks toward leveraging legitimate software for prolonged, stealthy persistence. Organizations need to move beyond trusting RMM vendors and implement behavioral verification controls.
Why it matters: IT teams and security operations rely on RMM tools daily; defenders must audit which RMM instances exist in their environment, verify their legitimacy, and establish baseline behavior to detect compromise before attackers gain deep network access.
