ThreatTalk Series
Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM) tools provide critical benefits such as centralized IT oversight, remote troubleshooting, and automated patch management. While these capabilities significantly improve operational efficiency, they can also be exploited by threat actors, presenting serious security vulnerabilities and organizational risks.
Deeply integrated into IT systems and heavily relied upon by helpdesk and IT support teams, RMM tools are increasingly weaponized through social engineering tactics. Threat actors often gain initial access to a network by deceiving users into installing what appears to be a legitimate utility. This grants attackers full control of the device and the organization’s networks.
Once inside, malicious actors use RMM tools to conduct a range of harmful activities, including establishing persistence, navigating laterally through the network, and stealing or exfiltrating sensitive data. This dual-edged nature of RMM tools underscores the importance of vigilance, robust security measures, and user awareness in mitigating these risks.
Join us for an exclusive ThreatTalk as we dive into the dual-edged nature of RMM tools, explore real-world examples from the Black Basta, Medusa ransomware campaigns and more, and share actionable strategies to strengthen your security posture. Our experts will provide valuable threat intelligence, key insights, and practical tips to help you stay one step ahead of these threat actors and their TTPs.
Our Threat Intelligence and Research team will be covering:
- Overview of RMM Tools
- Key Capabilities and RMM Options
- Threat Actors Exploiting RMM Tools
- RMM Known Vulnerabilities
- Common Exploitation Methods Used by Attackers
- Real-World Case Studies Highlighting RMM Abuse
- Practical Strategies to Prevent RMM-Based Attacks
