Lateral Movement Testing – Detect, Contain, and Prevent Internal Threats

Lateral movement is one of the most insidious attack techniques, where attackers, once inside your network, move undetected from one compromised system to another, often elevating privileges and breaching critical assets. Without proper defenses, this can lead to massive data exfiltration or system hijacking. At Vatins, we simulate how advanced attackers use lateral movement to navigate your network. From user-level compromises to achieving domain admin privileges, our experts test the gaps in your network defenses, privilege configurations, and detection tools.

What Is Lateral Movement Testing?

Lateral Movement Testing simulates how an attacker would exploit vulnerabilities across your internal network to escalate privileges, access sensitive data, and move undetected. This goes beyond initial access testing, it’s about testing the resilience of your internal network to unauthorized escalation and privilege abuse. We test everything from insecure shared files, misconfigured access controls, to unsupervised accounts that allow attackers to traverse your internal environment without triggering detection mechanisms.

Why It Matters

Why It Matters

Once an attacker has a foothold, they don’t stop. Without proper segmentation and internal controls, attackers can quickly escalate their access, move laterally, and potentially control your entire network. This is why Lateral Movement Testing is critical. It helps you discover where your network segmentation fails and where privilege abuse can allow attackers to gain higher levels of access without detection.

What is Penetration Testing?

Real-World Example - Privilege Escalation via Misconfigured Active Directory

In a recent Lateral Movement Testing engagement, our team exploited a misconfigured Active Directory environment where unrestricted Kerberos delegation allowed for privilege escalation from a regular user account to domain administrator. The attack remained undetected until we simulated data exfiltration and lateral moves . Our simulation tests how privilege escalation can occur through misconfigurations and whether your internal detection systems can catch this movement
