To detect lateral movement, organizations need to identify abnormal network activity, map lateral movement paths, analyze user behavior and verify unknown devices. If left unnoticed, lateral movement can often lead to data breaches and the loss of highly sensitive data. Organizations can prevent lateral movement within their network by enforcing least privilege access, implementing zero trust, segmenting networks and investing in a PAM solution.

Enterprise cybersecurity must constantly evolve to meet the threat posed by new malware variants and increasingly sophisticated hacker tactics, techniques, and procedures. This need drives the way security professionals categorize different technologies and approaches. The difference between network security and application security is an excellent example. These two components of the enterprise IT environment must be treated separately in any modern cybersecurity framework.
