Lateral movement refers to the techniques that cyber attackers, or threat actors, use to progressively move through a network as they search for the key data and assets that are ultimately the target of their attack campaigns.
Identity threat detection and response (ITDR) is a cybersecurity discipline that includes tools and best practices to protect identity management infrastructure from attacks. ITDR can block and detect threats , verify administrator credentials, respond to various attacks, and restore normal operations. [ 1 ]
Disabling or evading security measures. 43 Credential Access: Obtaining credentials to access systems or data. 17 Discovery: Identifying additional systems or information within a network. 32 Lateral Movement: Moving laterally within a compromised network. 9 Collection: Collecting data from compromised systems. 10 Command and Control
The cyber kill chain is the process by which perpetrators carry out cyberattacks. [2] Lockheed Martin adapted the concept of the kill chain from a military setting to information security , using it as a method for modeling intrusions on a computer network . [ 3 ]
STRIDE is a model for identifying computer security threats [1] developed by Praerit Garg and Loren Kohnfelder at Microsoft. [2] It provides a mnemonic for security threats in six categories. [3] The threats are: Spoofing; Tampering; Repudiation; Information disclosure (privacy breach or data leak) Denial of service; Elevation of privilege [4]
Threat hunting has traditionally been a manual process, in which a security analyst sifts through various data information using their own knowledge and familiarity with the network to create hypotheses about potential threats, such as, but not limited to, lateral movement by threat actors. [6]
Client-to-Gateway: Protects servers behind a gateway, mitigating lateral movement attacks within a network or on the internet. Client-to-Server: Similar to client-to-gateway, but the protected server runs the SDP software directly. Server-to-Server: Secures communication between servers offering APIs.
A cyberattack can be defined as any attempt by an individual or organization "using one or more computers and computer systems to steal, expose, change, disable or eliminate information, or to breach computer information systems, computer networks, and computer infrastructures". [2]
