  • Implementing Remote Credential Guard and Remote Admin Mode on Domain-Joined Windows 10 Clients
    INF258x: Implementing Remote Credential Guard and Remote Admin mode on Domain-joined Windows 10 Clients Estimated Time: 30 minutes You have a domain-joined Windows 10 client computer. You plan to take advantage of the Remote Desktop Credential Guard and Restrict Admin mode to protect credentials during Remote Desktop sessions between Windows 10 client and Windows Server 2016 computers. Objectives After completing this lab, students will be able to: • Implement Remote Credential Guard. • Implement the Restricted Admin mode. • Verify functionality of Remote Credential Guard and the Restricted Admin mode. Lab environment The lab consists of the following computers: • LON-DC1 – a Windows Server 2016 domain controller in the adatum.com single-domain forest. • LON-SVR1 – a Windows Server 2016 domain member server • LON-CL1 – a Windows 10 Pro or Enterprise version 1607 (or newer) domain member computer with Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows 10 All computers have Windows PowerShell Remoting enabled and have Internet connectivity Remote Desktop connections protected with Credential Guard have the following characteristics: • Require Windows 10 version 1607 (or newer) or Windows Server 2016 • Enforce of Kerberos authentication (NTLM is not allowed). • Require that both computers (a Remote Desktop client and a Remote Desktop host) are members of the same Active Directory domain or trusted Active Directory domains (Kerberos is enforced) • Support connecting with non-Administrative credentials (as a member of the Remote Desktop Users group)

Windows 10 Enterprise E3 in CSP is a new offering that delivers, by subscription, exclusive features reserved for Windows 10 Enterprise edition. This offering is available through the Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) channel via the Partner Center as an online service. Windows 10 Enterprise E3 in CSP provides a flexible, per- user subscription for small- and medium-sized organizations (from one to hundreds of users). To take advantage of this offering, you must have the following: Windows 10 Pro, version 1607 (Windows 10 Anniversary Update) or later, installed and activated, on the devices to be upgraded Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) available for identity management Starting with Windows 10, version 1607 (Windows 10 Anniversary Update), you can move from Windows 10 Pro to Windows 10 Enterprise more easily than ever before— no keys and no reboots. After one of your users enters the Azure AD credentials associated with a Windows 10 Enterprise E3 license, the operating system turns from Windows 10 Pro to Windows 10 Enterprise and all the appropriate Windows 10 Enterprise features are unlocked. When a subscription license expires or is transferred to another user, the Windows 10 Enterprise device seamlessly steps back down to Windows 10 Pro.

  • Implementing Microsoft Credential Guard for Iso 27001, Pci, and Fedramp
    IMPLEMENTING MICROSOFT CREDENTIAL GUARD FOR ISO 27001, PCI, AND FEDRAMP North America | Latin America | Europe 877.224.8077 | [email protected] | coalfire.com Coalfiresm and CoalfireOnesm are registered service marks of Coalfire Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. INTRODUCTION The threat of a cyber-attack is a constant factor all organizations must consider when developing their information security posture. A particular area of concern is the exploitation of information system derived domain credentials and credential artifacts, which present attackers the opportunity to pass-the-hash or pass-the-ticket with derived domain credentials such as NTLM password hashes or Kerberos tickets. Credential Guard is a set of new security features for Windows Server 2016 and the Windows 10 operating system which helps organizations prevent derived credentials from being compromised by advanced attacks or from being exposed during certain authentication workflows. In order to help customers implement this new capability for compliance with ISO, PCI, or FedRAMP, Microsoft worked closely with Coalfire, a recognized third-party IT compliance firm, to define each security and compliance objective in relation to the capabilities of Credential Guard. In addition, Appendix A contains mappings between Credential Guard and the security control requirements present in ISO 27001, PCI DSS, and FedRAMP. OVERVIEW OF CREDENTIAL GUARD Credential Guard provides robust protections against local pass-the-hash or pass-the-ticket attacks on derived credentials by providing advanced virtualization-based isolation for certain authentication workflows within normal Windows system operation. Previously, during authentication workflows that required NTLM or Kerberos authentication, Windows stored derived credentials in process memory associated with the Local Security Authority (LSA).

  • Enabling Windows Server 2019 Device Guard and Credential Guard on Lenovo Thinksystem Servers
    Front cover Enabling Windows Server 2019 Device Guard and Credential Guard on Lenovo ThinkSystem Servers Introduces the Device Guard and Provides steps to enable Device Credential Guard features Guard and Credential Guard Describes how to check the status Explains what Lenovo servers of the features support the features Guiqing Li Abstract Device Guard and Credential Guard are two important security features of the Microsoft Windows Server operating system that leverage virtualization capabilities from the hardware and the hypervisor to provide additional protection for critical subsystems and data. Customers can implement these features to secure their devices and data, such as user or system secrets, and hashed credentials. To benefit from these two features, the servers you are protecting must meet certain baseline hardware, firmware and software requirements. Lenovo® ThinkSystem™ servers support these two security features in conjunction with Windows Server 2019. This document introduces Device Guard and Credential Guard, and shows users how to enable them on supported Lenovo ThinkSystem servers. This paper is intended for IT specialists, technical architects and sales engineers who want to learn more about Device Guard and Credential Guard and how to enable them. It is expected that readers have some experience with Windows Server administration. At Lenovo Press, we bring together experts to produce technical publications around topics of importance to you, providing information and best practices for using Lenovo products and solutions to solve IT challenges.

  • 577741-Remote Credencial Guard.Pdf
    Agenda • A brief Introduction • Prerequisites • A very, very short Kerberos Introduction • What are Credentials? • Credential Guard • Restricted Admin • Remote Credential Guard • MS-CSSP • MS-RDPEAR What I Expect You to Already Know •Kerberos •Restricted Admin Mode •Credential Security Support Provider (CredSSP) Protocol •RPC Marshalling & ASN1 Serialization A Brief Introduction • Remote Credential Guard is the RDP version of Credential Guard • In Credential Guard, Virtualized Environment stores the Credentials • In Remote Credential Guard, instead of Virtualized Environment, RDP Client stores the Clear Credentials • In Credential Guard, LSASS exchange messages with Virtualized Environment when it needs a new ticket or authenticate message to login to a service • RDP server exchanges similar kind of messages with LSASS on the client when it needs a new ticket to authenticate to a service Demo of Remote Credential Guard What Problem We’re trying to Solve? • RDP requires User Credentials to create a User Session on Remote Target • CredSSP (NLA) is employed to ferry the Clear Text Credentials to Remote Target • While the Credentials in transit are doubly encrypted, they are decrypted on the Remote Target to pass to LsaLongonUser API • If the Remote Target is compromised, an attacker can steal the Credentials • Remote Credentials Guard fixes these issues by sending encrypted session key1 and TGT instead of clear text username and password 1. RCG also send encrypted NTOWF which is used to login to services that don’t support Kerberos A very, very short refresher to Kerberos • Require 3 entities to work: client, service, KDC1 (also hosts TGS2) • Client and Service both share long term secrets with KDC (password derived hashes a.k.a long term keys) • Client requests a ticket to authenticate to a service • At the time of logging on, client acquires a ticket for a TGS • The ticket for TGS is called TGT (Ticket Granting Ticket) • Once a TGT is issued, the long-term key is destroyed on client • TGT and associated session key are now the credentials.
