ConnectWise — Attack Tool
ConnectWise is a legitimate remote administration tool that has been used since at least 2016 by threat actors including MuddyWater and GOLD SOUTHFIELD to connect to and conduct lateral movement in target environments.
Tool identity and evidence
Included because the active pinned ATT&CK object has type tool. This is an upstream classification, not an assurance of benignness or a recommendation to run it.

Technique-specific simulations and detections
Detection links describe the associated behavior, not independently verified tool-specific signatures.
Telemetry context
Derived from the explicitly linked TTPs; not proof of sensor coverage for this tool.
