Even without full network telemetry, you can still catch lateral movement with the right endpoint insights:
1. Monitor for Unusual Remote Access Tools
Look for tools like PsExec, RDP, or SMB being used in unexpected ways or by non-admin users.
🛠 WithSecure Elements EDR can flag suspicious use of legitimate tools — learn more here.
2. Correlate Logins Across Devices
Repeated logins from the same user across multiple endpoints in a short time window can indicate lateral movement.
🛠 Use endpoint logs and Broad Context Detection to correlate activity.
3. Watch for Credential Dumping Behavior
Tools like Mimikatz often precede lateral movement. Detecting these early can stop attackers in their tracks.
📌 You don’t need full network visibility — just smart endpoint telemetry and behavioral analytics.
