Mitigating lateral movements
We can use Microsoft Defender for Identity, which includes a mechanism to detect lateral movements, and a powerful alternate method to remediate lateral movements is by configuring Fusion in Microsoft Sentinel, a correlation engine to detect multistage attacks automatically.
Fusion is a powerful engine integrated with Microsoft Sentinel that identifies combinations of anomalous behaviors and malicious activities observed at different kill chain stages.

How can we enable Fusion? It is enabled as an analytics rule and can help us cover a variety of scenarios, such as the following:
- Compute resource abuse
- Credential...
