NetworkNewsBreaks – SideChannel Inc. (SDCH) CEO Shares Insight into Restricting Rogue RMM Usage in IT Brew Article
SideChannel (OTCQB: SDCH), a provider of cybersecurity products and services to emerging, middle-market and enterprise companies, was featured in a recent IT Brew article. The piece discusses a January advisory from CISA and recent targeting of federal employees with with bogus emails from the help desk. “Along with the crafty phishing email, this new take on tech support scams entices users to download a legitimate and favorite IT support tool: remote monitoring and management (‘RMM’). With attackers intent on finding ways to remote-in, companies that use RMM software, like many managed service providers (‘MSPs’), are high-value targets, and IT pros must be especially cautious about ways to restrict and monitor the products’ use,” reads the article. “The guys who are answering the email are the same people that are logging in and supporting customers, so if I get your credentials…now I can pivot into the entire customer base,” SideChannel CEO Brian Haugli was quoted as saying. The publication delves into ways in which to restrict rogue RMM usage, including tools and services to detect anomalies and add layers of protection. Haugli further explains that such practices are important for companies to have and outsourced security providers to demonstrate. “Managed service providers and IT providers should be going out of their way to prove that they can be trusted, and should be the ones providing these services,” he said.
