Nearly all cyberattacks involve lateral movement. Attackers sneak into one computer, access the login credentials active on that computer, and then use those credentials to move to other computers. Lateral movement lets attackers fulfill their mission: installing ransomware on as many computers as possible or searching for any valuable data on the corporate network, such as credit card data stored on servers.
To provide IT organizations with the visibility they need to analyze access rights and the vulnerabilities they pose, Tanium created a new module called Impact, a software offering included in the Tanium Platform. Tanium Impact analyzes relationships between users, groups, and endpoints at speed and scale to identify lateral movement potential. It provides the ability to visualize and contextualize the administrative realm and lateral movement risk, empowering prioritization of remediation efforts.
- Tanium Impact shows possible lateral movement paths to and from the users, groups, and endpoints analyzed.
- Tanium Impact reports access data for an entire enterprise, not just a local network.
- Tanium Impact includes session data in its analysis of lateral movement, helping analysts understand the risks associated with attacks that began hours or even days ago.
- Tanium Impact analyzes both direct control and indirect control when evaluating the potential movement of an endpoint, user or group.
Tanium Impact assigns an impact Rating to users/groups/endpoints, so IT organizations can easily prioritize the endpoints and user accounts that require attention for risk mitigation.
The Tanium Platform provides real-time visibility, comprehensive control and rapid response. It unifies security and IT operations teams with a single view of critical endpoint data in real time that's comprehensive and accurate so that organizations can make informed decisions and act with lightning speed to minimize disruptions to the business.
