Key insights

• Lateral attacks happen when attackers move inside a network after getting access, often aiming for sensitive data or systems.


• Entra ID is a tool from Microsoft that helps manage user identities and control who can access resources.


• Identity management ensures only the right people have access to important company information and systems.


• Multi-factor authentication (MFA) adds an extra step to logins, making it harder for attackers to use stolen passwords.
