- Microsoft is integrating Sysmon natively into Windows 11 and Windows Server 2025.
- Previously, Sysmon required manual download and installation from Sysinternals.
- Native integration will improve troubleshooting by having Sysmon pre-installed.
- Sysmon is a powerful tool but requires configuration for specific environments.
- Examples of custom configurations include monitoring DNS queries and process tampering.
- Sysmon can also be installed on Linux via Windows Subsystem for Linux.
- Widespread use of Sysmon will lead to better configuration examples being available.
