Windows Infrastructure Security - Kerberos


Kerberos is the backbone of authentication in Active Directory—but misconfigurations can expose your environment to attacks like Kerberoasting.

In this focused mini-course, you’ll learn:

✔ How Kerberos authentication works inside Active Directory.

✔ How ticket encryption & delegation function and where security gaps exist.

✔ How attackers exploit weak configurations—and how to defend against them.

By the end, you’ll have a deep understanding of Kerberos security risks and how to harden authentication in AD.
