Event 4622 illustration

Subcategory: Audit Security System Extension

Event Description:

This event generates every time Security Package has been loaded by the Local Security Authority (LSA).

Security Package is the software implementation of a security protocol (Kerberos, NTLM, for example). Security packages are contained in security support provider DLLs or security support provider/authentication package DLLs.

Each time the system starts, the LSA loads the Security Package DLLs from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\OSConfig\Security Packages registry value and performs the initialization sequence for every package located in these DLLs.

It is also possible to add security package dynamically using AddSecurityPackage function, not only during system startup process.

Note  For recommendations, see Security Monitoring Recommendations for this event.
