• Zero-day exploited: Attackers are taking advantage of recently discovered vulnerabilities more quickly than ever before, reducing the patching window to a few hours or days. Even while it isn't an RMM and PSA software issue, the recent "ToolShеll" SharеPoint vulnerabilities show how easily a serious problem may be discovered in the field.

• Backbone targeting momentum: RMMs fit a wider assault strategy, as was previously discussed: compromising upstream and utilizing centralized technologies to maximize downstream impact. The software ecosystem is accelerating this strategy, and RMMs are emerging as one of the most appealing platforms for implementing it.

• Nation-state interest: In previous campaigns, state-backed groups have used supply chain and management platform compromises, frequently blending their operations with illegal tradecraft to conceal attribution. RMMs provide an effective means for these players to reach a wide range of targets in a single operation when geopolitical tensions rise.

Each of these elements increases the threat level, but when combined, they create a perfect storm where a platform's compromise can quickly spread to other client bases.
