Preventing Credential Theft with Domain Credential Filter

Understanding Domain Credential Filter for Credential Theft Prevention

Credential Theft Detection: When using the "Domain Credential Filter" method, the firewall retrieves the credentials submitted by the user and compares them with the corporate user id and password. If the credentials do not match, it indicates a potential credential theft attempt.

Connection to Windows User-ID Credential Service: To validate the user credentials, the firewall is connected to the Windows User-ID credential service add-on. This connection enables the firewall to retrieve data for matching and verification purposes.

Mapping to IP Address: The firewall also looks into its Mapping Table to find the IP address of the logged-in user. This mapping helps in associating the user's credentials with their specific IP address, adding another layer of security in detecting credential theft.

Overall, the "Domain Credential Filter" method provides a comprehensive approach to prevent credential theft by verifying user credentials, checking against corporate data, and mapping to the IP address of the user.
