Insights: RMM Tools | Huntress

Huntress has published multiple blog posts over the past year documenting instances where remote monitoring and management (RMM) tools have been installed or abused by threat actors. RMM tools, which are legitimate software for IT support and monitoring, have become targets for exploitation due to their privileged access to systems.

Why it matters: Security practitioners need to understand RMM tool attack vectors and misuse patterns to detect unauthorized installations, restrict tool access, and defend against threat actors leveraging legitimate administrative tools for lateral movement and persistence.
