"CISA Publishes JCDC Remote Monitoring and Management Systems Cyber Defense Plan"

As part of its 2023 Planning Agenda, the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has released the Cyber Defense Plan for Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM), the first proactive plan developed by industry and government partners through the Joint Cyber Defense Collaborative (JCDC). This plan provides a roadmap for improving the security and resilience of the RMM ecosystem, as well as advancing efforts in the National Cyber Strategy to scale public-private collaboration and the CISA Cybersecurity Strategic Plan to drive the adoption of the most effective security measures. Organizations use RMM products to gain efficiency and benefit from scalable services. However, adversaries are increasingly targeting these benefits to compromise large numbers of downstream customer organizations. By focusing on RMM products, threat actors attempt to dodge detection and maintain persistent access, also known as "living off the land." This article continues to discuss the Cyber Defense Plan for RMM.
