Unsecured Credentials and Domain Accounts
Course Content
This course focuses on the stage of an attack where threat actors work to obtain unauthorized access to additional accounts and credentials in the target environment or application. The safekeeping of credentials to environments, systems and applications has long been a core, cybersecurity challenge. Entire product lines revolve around this need, ranging from access brokers to privileged access management solutions. Part of this challenge stems from the wide variety of locations that credentials are stored across the enterprise, and the lack of strong, default security practices around many of those locations. Add in the propensity of users to store their own credentials unsafely, and it becomes all too common for adversaries to discover Unsecured Credentials.
In this course we will review a specific type of credential - Active Directory certificates.
Learn how to detect and mitigate these techniques to protect your organization from this highly sophisticated attack.
Apply what you learn and get the hands-on skills you need in Cybrary's MITRE ATT&CK Framework courses aligned to the tactics and techniques used by the threat group APT29. Prevent adversaries from accomplishing the tactic of credential access.

After too many years of security operations work, Chris Daywalt tries to turn his phone off at 5:00 pm EST. While there are a bunch of training classes and education somewhere on his resume, much of what he has to teach was learned at the school of hard knocks, often at the expense of his previous clients. He wants to help you spend more time detecting and denying adversaries and less time banging your head against your keyboard. He dips his blueberry donuts in orange juice.
