external_kerberos_access

Explanation

This security event is triggered by Netography Fusion Portal when it detects non-customer network access of Kerberos resources. Kerberos is a network authentication protocol used by many enterprises to securely authenticate users and services across a network. Unauthorized external access to Kerberos resources can indicate a potential security threat.

What to Look For

To examine the results of external_kerberos_access, look for unauthorized external access to Kerberos resources. This can include attempts to authenticate to a Kerberos server or access to Kerberos tickets. Investigate any suspicious activity on the network or endpoint that may suggest a possible security breach.

If external_kerberos_access is triggered, it is essential to investigate the issue to prevent potential security breaches. Check network logs, Kerberos server logs, and endpoint logs for evidence of unauthorized activity. This service should not be accessible from non-local network resources.
