Lateral Movement – The Key Element in Advanced<br />
Attacks<br />
Understanding lateral movement techniques in advanced cyberattacks and how to fight back<br />

When the pandemic made its impact around the globe early last year, it simultaneously ushered in an<br />
exponential surge in cybersecurity attacks. In the scramble to mass-migrate businesses to virtual work<br />

processes. This climate has allowed attacks in particular to boom in nearly all industry verticals,<br />
impacting critical infrastructure, utilities, transport, food supplies, healthcare, education, and the US<br />
economy at federal, state, and municipal levels.<br />
Advanced cyberattacks are now considered a risk to national security following the sweeping uptick in<br />
cyberattacks. Once targeting small companies or individuals, threat actors are now making headlines by<br />
growing their attack radius to include major infrastructure companies and even leading security firms.<br />
What’s more is that threat actors are quickly evolving their tactics and targets when it comes to deploying<br />
their cyber assaults.<br />
Understanding Lateral Movement in APTs<br />
Advanced persistent threats (APTs) are seeing increased success due to lateral movement techniques.<br />
When threat actors infiltrate a network, the initial, vertical entry seldom causes damage. Actors are likely<br />
to break in through low-level web servers, compromised email accounts, or a poorly protected endpoint<br />
