Network Compromise and Cloud Infrastructure Exposure Case

Poor network segmentation enabled an attacker to pivot from internal access to full cloud takeover.

The challenge

A network security assessment exposed excessive connectivity between corporate and management domains, leading to full control over cloud and virtualized environments.

The solution

Restricted VPN access and isolated AD controllers from Internet exposure.
Enforced MFA on privileged accounts.
Implemented stronger monitoring for unauthorized lateral movement.

How we did it

Used employee dual-domain access to pivot into management networks.
Extracted Azure AD Connector database for admin access.
Gained full control over vSphere via weak authentication.

Conclusion

Without strong segmentation and access controls, an attacker could move laterally and compromise critical infrastructure. Security baselines were enforced to prevent future risks.
