A lateral movement attack can present itself in a variety of ways and for a variety of purposes.
In practice, this type of action is related to accessing an entry point, which corresponds to the initial target, so that the attacker can later gain access to other locations on the network, being able to steal data or infect devices and demand a ransom payment, for example.
