What to do

  1. Monitor for remote scheduled tasks created with schtasks.exe, LSASS memory access, and WMI or WinRM commands from unusual hosts.
  2. Alert on Event ID 4662 where replication requests come from systems that are not real domain controllers, which can indicate DCSync.
  3. Rotate the krbtgt account twice if any domain admin account has been compromised, to cancel forged Golden Tickets.
  4. Patch and lock down exposed SQL Servers, check for commands launched from sqlservr.exe, and enable LAPS.
