Detecting Lateral Movement in Hybrid Cloud Environments
Durojaye Olusegun ● September 22, 2025
Hybrid cloud security means protecting data and infrastructure across on-premises and multiple cloud environments. One of the biggest challenges in these scenarios is lateral movement – when attackers move across systems to get high value assets. Detecting lateral movement in hybrid clouds is key. In practice, this means unifying monitoring tools and analytics across all platforms since attackers no longer respect traditional network boundaries. For many security teams, improving lateral movement detection is now top of the list in any hybrid cloud security program.
