OPERATIONAL DEFENSE
Targeted Defensive Hardening for Salt Typhoon
Primary Initial Access Defense
Enforce hardware FIDO2 multi-factor authentication across all perimeter VPN, Citrix, and cloud data portals. Prohibit SMS or push-based MFA that can be bypassed via vishing or SIM swapping.
Lateral Movement Interception
Restrict internal SMB (port 445) and RPC traversal between workstation subnets. Implement tiered Active Directory administration so domain administrator credentials are never cached on endpoints.
