Description: Following up on last year’s LOLDriver plugin, Tenable Research is releasing detection plugins for the top Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM) tools that attackers have been more frequently leveraging in victim environments.BackgroundIn August 2024, Tenable Research released a detection plugin for Nessus, Tenable Security Center and Tenable Vulnerability Management to help customers identify risky third-party Windows drivers utilized by attackers for privilege escalation on victim hosts. As part of our continued research into living off the land (LOTL) tooling utilized by attackers, we’re releasing new detection plugins for popular Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM) applications.Increased risk from RMM toolsIT operations and information security staff often need to remotely connect to machines dozens, perhaps even hundreds, of times per day to troubleshoot a problem or make a system function well. An administrator or support technician must reach a terminal on a server in a datacenter a continent away, or a user’s workstation in their home. As the role of the remote worker has dramatically expanded across organizations over the last 20 years, it has led to the introduction of RMM products in enterprise environments.The architecture of these products is fairly straightforward: a listener on the user’s machine, often referred to as an agent, host, or server, and an application to connect to, and control, the machine, often referred to as a viewer or client. In many cas...

Description: Each Monday, the Tenable Exposure Management Academy provides the practical, real-world guidance you need to shift from vulnerability management to exposure management. In this post, the second of two parts, we look closely at six ways exposure management can help you tame security tool sprawl. You can read part one here and the entire Exposure Management Academy series here.If you’re managing cyber risk, you know there’s one fundamental question you have to answer: Where are we most exposed? On the surface, that might seem like a simple ask. Are you at risk or not? Like many things, in practice it’s a bit tougher to answer — even though you installed all those security tools to keep your organization safe. But those tools might be a big part of the problem. Most enterprises now struggle with taming all the tools and corralling the data they produce. So getting a clear, consistent and comprehensive answer can be a real challenge. Enter exposure management, which gives you the processes and technologies you need to continuously assess the accessibility, exploitability and criticality of digital assets across all systems, applications, devices, resources and identities. As a result, it helps you tame security tool sprawl and works to bind all of that fragmented data together to provide a unified view. Rather than scrambling madly to find the right data when you get a question from your executive team or board, you’ll be able to answer them easily. Last week, we shared how ex...
