Key Rotation

IAM concepts
The process of regularly changing cryptographic keys or credentials to mitigate the risk of unauthorized access and improve security. Secrets managers often automate key rotation to ensure that secrets are regularly updated without disrupting applications or services.

Kerberoasting

NHI security threats
Kerberoasting is a post-compromise attack that exploits Kerberos authentication in Active Directory. Attackers use a low-privilege account to request service tickets for accounts with Service Principal Names (SPNs), extract the encrypted ticket data, and attempt to crack the hash offline to obtain plaintext credentials. This technique is commonly used to escalate privileges in Windows environments.
