A ticket in cybersecurity is a set of credentials used to authenticate users. A silver ticket is a forged ticket an unauthorized user creates. With this forged silver ticket, threat actors can launch a cyber attack that involves exploiting the weaknesses of a Kerberos authentication system. In this system, a Ticket Granting Service (TGS) serves as the credential token, granting authorized users access to particular services. If an attacker is successful, the forged silver ticket enables them to impersonate the service account and gain access to network resources. Silver ticket vs golden ticket ..read more

Zero Standing Privileges (ZSP) is a Privileged Access Management (PAM) strategy in which organizations limit access to sensitive data by removing all permanent user access. It requires users to request specific access to resources needed to complete a task. However, instead of granting users continuous access, ZSP will grant them temporary access until the task is complete. Zero standing privileges remove the implicit trust of users and require them to constantly verify their identity and their need to access specific resources. It aids in implementing a zero-trust approach to security, where ..read more
