Lateral Movement Logging Recommendations
Windows Event IDs to monitor
Lateral movement is defined as the movement of attackers within an organization's infrastructure. This could either be "to gain additional credentials" or to "steal data". The attacker may use different tools and techniques allowing them to move laterally through a network to map the system.
Below are the list of event IDs to monitor and hunt for, which would help detect such activity.
