 Lateral Movement
 &lt;a class="heading-link" href="#lateral-movement"&gt;
 &lt;i class="fa-solid fa-link" aria-hidden="true" title="Link to heading"&gt;&lt;/i&gt;
 &lt;span class="sr-only"&gt;Link to heading&lt;/span&gt;
 &lt;/a&gt;
&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Lateral movement is the process of moving from one compromised system to another system within a network.&lt;/p&gt;

 Why Attackers Perform Lateral Movement
 &lt;a class="heading-link" href="#why-attackers-perform-lateral-movement"&gt;
 &lt;i class="fa-solid fa-link" aria-hidden="true" title="Link to heading"&gt;&lt;/i&gt;
 &lt;span class="sr-only"&gt;Link to heading&lt;/span&gt;
 &lt;/a&gt;
&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The first compromised system rarely contains valuable data.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Attackers must move across the network to reach their true targets.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Example Attack Path:&lt;/strong&gt;
Phishing email → User laptop compromise → Lateral movement → Domain controller → Full network control&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
