Remote monitoring and management (RMM) software offering continuously monitored networks, automated updates, backups, patches, and security scans is a growing trend in cybersecurity, rapidly gaining momentum.
Even though it is clear why so many leading organisations rely on RMM platforms to bolster their cybersecurity – the harsh reality is that RMM software is an attractive gateway for targeted attacks.
Threat actors are adept at identifying and exploiting vulnerabilities, evading detection by deploying legitimate tools like PowerShell and WMI, and living off the land with permanent access.
However, that being said – RMM software was not all created equally, and some offer far more robust cybersecurity and compliance with stringent industry standards. So, if you want to enjoy all the benefits of a remotely managed network without exposing your sensitive data – read on!
What Is the Most Secure Remote Monitoring Platform?
Most business entities rely on tried-and-tested methodologies like end-to-end encryption (E2EE), robust firewalls, anti-virus software, and rigorous access management controls to safeguard their networks.
While all these risk mitigation strategies are considered cybersecurity best practices, they are adequate to keep hackers at bay, especially when vulnerable RMM software is deployed that attracts unwanted attention.
Thus, most business leaders outsource their PCI Security Standards Council’s (FIPS 140-2 Level 3) data security to service providers who remotely manage their Hardware Security Modules (HSM).
HSMs are considered trust actors as they seamlessly encrypt and decrypt tokenized data. Ensuring that sensitive data remains protected during its entire lifecycle – from the moment it enters a private network.
Impenetrable Point-to-Point encrypted (P2PE) HSM devices meet and exceed PCI DSS requirements pertaining to crypto key migrations.
Crypto key migrations are complex and arduous processes that are incredibly resource-intensive and require in-depth knowledge of cryptographic data protection best practices.
So, most HSMs are remotely managed by third-party cybersecurity companies as they don’t require a (hefty) capital outlay or costly software updates, and paying flat fees is far more cost-effective than variable RMM expenditure.
