Hunt Hypothesis

An adversary is using the Naverisk tool to create malicious processes for persistence or command and control, leveraging its remote management capabilities. SOC teams should proactively hunt for this behavior in Azure Sentinel to detect and mitigate potential long-term persistence and C2 activities by threat actors exploiting RMM tools.
