Use Alternate Authentication Material - AI Security Technique

AI Security Technique

Adversaries may use alternate authentication material, such as password hashes, Kerberos tickets, and application access tokens, in order to move laterally within an environment and bypass normal system access controls. AI services commonly use alternate authentication material as a primary means for users to make queries, making them vulnerable to this technique.
