Test How Far an Attacker Can Move Inside Your Network
Specialized red team assessment focused on lateral movement - testing network segmentation effectiveness, privilege escalation paths, Active Directory attack chains, and east-west traffic controls.
Why Lateral Movement Assessment Matters Now
A initial compromise is often just the beginning. Without proper controls, attackers can traverse your entire infrastructure.
Flat Network Architecture
Many organizations still operate effectively flat networks where a single compromised endpoint provides access to all segments, undermining isolation boundaries.
Active Directory Exploitation
Active Directory is the backbone of enterprise identity. Misconfigured permissions and Kerberos delegation issues create paths to Domain Admin.
Credential Harvesting
Attackers harvest credentials through memory dumps, cached tokens, and pass-the-hash techniques, yielding credentials for dozens of other systems.
Inadequate Segmentation
Network segmentation often fails in practice due to accumulated firewall exceptions and gaps in micro-segmentation policies.
What We Assess
Comprehensive coverage across all critical areas of lateral movement assessment.
Assessment Process
A systematic, repeatable methodology refined over 4,800+ security assessments.
Initial Foothold
Start from a simulated compromise position representing most common real-world attack starting points.
Reconnaissance
Map internal network, discover hosts, and Active Directory structure using advanced offensive tools.
Credential Harvesting
Extract credentials from memory, cached tokens, and LSASS dumps to escalate privileges.
Lateral Movement
Systematically move through the network exploiting trust relationships and protocols.
Privilege Escalation
Gain Domain/Enterprise Admin access via AD misconfigurations and group policy weaknesses.
Blast Radius Mapping
Document every system reached and create a comprehensive map of the actual impact.
What Sets Our Lateral Movement Assessment Apart
Active Directory Expertise
BloodHound-verified attack path analysis covering Kerberoasting, AS-REP roasting, DCSync, and trust exploitation.
Real Attack Techniques
We use the same tools and TTPs as APT groups - not automated scanners. Mimikatz, Impacket, and custom tooling.
Segmentation Validation
Active testing of network boundaries - attempting to traverse VLANs, bypass micro-segmentation, and pivot zones.
Cloud-Hybrid Coverage
Assessment includes lateral movement from on-premises to Azure AD/Entra ID and cloud workloads.
Blast Radius Mapping
Visual maps showing exactly how far an attacker progresses, making business impact tangible for leadership.
Purple Team Option
Collaborative mode where our red team works with your SOC - testing detection capabilities in real-time.
What You Receive
Comprehensive documentation that drives action, not just awareness.

Standards & Frameworks We Cover
Lateral Movement Assessment FAQs
How is this different from a regular penetration test?
A standard penetration test covers a broad scope. A Lateral Movement Assessment is a deep-dive specifically focused on post-compromise movement and AD attack paths.
What starting position do you simulate?
We typically start from a standard employee workstation position representing the most common real-world compromise starting point.
Will this disrupt our production environment?
We operate with extreme care - no destructive attacks or DoS. Techniques are designed to be stealthy, just like real attackers.
Do you test Active Directory specifically?
Active Directory analysis is a core component. We map attack paths and test Kerberos weaknesses (Kerberoasting, AS-REP roasting).
