A–Z
Adversary techniques to move from an initially compromised host to additional systems, expanding access within the network.
Lateral movement is what turns a single phished endpoint into a full breach. Common techniques: Pass the Hash, Pass the Ticket, WMI/WinRM remoting, and abuse of remote management tools (AnyDesk, ConnectWise).
See our web application penetration testing, API security testing, network penetration testing, and cloud security audit services for how we test for and defend against this class of issue.
