- **Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP)**: Exploitation of RDP for lateral movement.

## Threat Actor Goals
- Gain access to sensitive data stored on other systems
- Expand control over the network to facilitate data exfiltration

## Defense Strategies
- Monitor for unusual RDP activities
- Strengthen access controls and implement multi-factor authentication
- Conduct regular network traffic analysis to identify anomalies
