Security Monitoring Recommendations

For 4610(S): An authentication package has been loaded by the Local Security Authority.

  • Report all “Authentication Package Name” not equals “C:\Windows\system32\msv1_0.DLL : MICROSOFT_AUTHENTICATION_PACKAGE_V1_0”, because by default this is the only Authentication Package loaded by Windows 10.

  • Typically this event has an informational purpose. If you have a pre-defined list of allowed Authentication Packages in the system, then you can check whether “Authentication Package Name” is in your defined list.
