How to Say Goodbye to RC4 While Keeping Your Sanity
The old RC4 encryption protocol has many weaknesses. To help harden attack surfaces, Microsoft has rolled out updates that change domain controllers’ behavior regarding ticket encryption. Unfortunately, RC4 is still the backbone of many Kerberos implementations.
Don’t panic! The doomsday scenarios might be exaggerated, but you still need to address certain configurations before Microsoft makes its next move towards RC4-free Kerberos.
Join Semperis Principal Solutions Architect Evgenij Smirnov to walk through the changes, determine the consequences for your existing encryption configurations, and get practical advice on locating and remediating potentially disrupted applications—or even preserving the status quo until your organization is able to deal with the death of RC4.
Through the lens of five detailed case studies of real-world identity security incidents from Semperis' response team, Alex Weinert, Chief Product Officer at Semperis and former VP of Identity Security at Microsoft, outlines a three-part framework for protecting identity fabric: before attacks (posture work), during attacks (detection and response), and after attacks (secure recovery).
Join Senior Solution Architect and former Microsoft PFE Tim Wolf for a practical, step-by-step hybrid recovery approach for both on-prem Active Directory and Entra ID.
Refresh your understanding of hybrid Active Directory security challenges and incident response strategies, with practical tips for minimizing panic during cyber incidents.
Through live demos, Microsoft MVP Christopher Brumm shows how you can implement granular access controls, privileged identity management, and access packages for partners and consultants, while maintaining high security standards.
This discussion—featuring HIP Community experts Jorge De Almeida Pinto, Eric Woodruff, Michael Van Horenbeeck, Christopher Brumm, and Alex Weinert—reminds you that most attacks still use traditional methods, so the basic security hygiene you already practice is crucial.
