UnverifiedIf attackers breach the IT-side defenses, they may move laterally into the OT network and send malicious commands to control systems without operators being aware.77% similarUnverifiedAttackers focus on attack paths that span systems, APIs, identities, and trust boundaries, rather than individual code repositories and assets.76% similarUnverifiedLateral movement refers to the technique by which an attacker, after gaining control of an internal host or account, uses that foothold to expand access within the internal network; common techniques include Pass-the-Hash, Pass-the-Ticket, RDP, WMI, and PSExec, and the MITRE ATT&CK framework lists lateral movement as one of the key stages of the attack chain.73% similarVerifiedAttackers can induce agents to execute a sequence of seemingly normal operations—such as querying user data, calling formatting tools, and triggering email sending—to form a data exfiltration chain.73% similarUnverifiedMCP spoofing attacks share structural similarities with BGP hijacking and DNS spoofing in their attack path, as all three insert malicious nodes at the addressing/discovery layer rather than directly compromising the target system.73% similar
