A security team wants to confirm that users cannot move between subnets. They propose using a specialized utility that deploys agents to explore each zone with minimal user intervention. Which tactic best meets this goal and helps identify potential pivots?
Deploy a simulation agent designed to explore subnets and report pivot details
Review application components for potential security gaps
Conduct direct exploration of subnets using custom scripts
A simulation agent designed to explore subnets provides insight into lateral movement within segmented environments. Basic vulnerability scans with subsequent analysis may miss real-world pivot scenarios. Direct exploration using custom scripts can introduce errors. Reviewing application components focuses on application security, not underlying segmentation issues.
