Abstract
Attempts at lateral movement are detected by monitoring failed login attempts across a number of endpoints in a network. By configuring endpoints across the network to report unsuccessful login attempts and monitoring these login attempts at a central location, patterns of attempts and failures may advantageously be detected and used to identify malicious attempts at lateral movement within the network before any unauthorized lateral movement is achieved.
