Abstract
Techniques are described herein that are capable of detecting potential malicious use of a resource management agent using a resource management log. The resource management log is analyzed. The resource management log logs API requests that request that a resource management system cause the resource management agent to perform respective operations. An anomalous operation is detected among the operations based at least in part on an identified API request satisfying one or more criteria associated with anomalous behavior. The identified API request requests that the resource management system cause the resource management agent, which is loaded on a machine and which enables the resource management system to remotely manage resources associated with the machine, to perform the anomalous operation. An alert is generated to notify a user of the potential malicious use of the resource management agent based at least in part on detection of the anomalous operation.
