ADVICE

Apply Default-Deny And Restrict Remote Tools

  • Enforce default-deny for executables and restrict which apps can access the Internet by role.
  • Audit and deny unnecessary remote-access tools like AnyDesk or TeamViewer to remove hidden footholds.
ANECDOTE

RMM Abuse Stopped In A Hospital Case

  • Rob described an attack on a hospital where attackers tried enabling RMM tools to gain control across 6,000 machines.
  • ThreatLocker blocked the RMM execution, preventing further compromise despite the attempted escalation.
ADVICE

Inventory Running Software, Not Just Installs

  • Inventory running software, not just installed packages; scan for portable executables and one-off remote tools.
  • Use visibility and a blocking mechanism to remove forgotten or unauthorized remote clients.
