### Overview
Following the establishment of persistence, Tick APT has initiated lateral movement activities within the network, aiming to compromise additional systems.

### Key Findings
- **Credential Dumping**: The attackers are using credential dumping tools to harvest administrative credentials.
- **Remote Execution**: Compromised credentials are being used to execute commands on other systems within the network.

### Recommendations
- **Identity Management**: Strengthen identity management practices, including the use of multi-factor authentication to protect sensitive accounts.
- **Network Segmentation**: Implement network segmentation to limit the ability of attackers to move laterally.

### Next Steps
Further investigation is required to detect and prevent any data exfiltration attempts that may follow the lateral movement phase.
