PRIVILEGE MANAGEMENT

Malicious actors are always seeking to compromise large numbers of computers. Forensic analysis of their attacks revealed that they were breached using relatively un-sophisticated methods which could have been avoided with basic endpoint privilege management best practices. 

Endpoint Privilege Management: The Key to Network Security
Security Is Only as Strong as the Weakest Link

By removing local Admin rights and employing endpoint privilege management you will immediately enhance all your cybersecurity efforts. Privileged Access Management (PAM) is one of the best ways to help stop malware and thwart attackers. Some estimates say that having users run with Standard privileges can help mitigate 94% or more of Microsoft vulnerabilities.

Can you afford to ignore privileged access management which could easily tighten your security?

In the past it was common to not remove or even allow local admin rights because of the possibility of it leading to productivity issues that would frustrate users when privileges are needed most. Privilege Access Management or “PAM” are solutions that help manage, secure, monitor and restrict privileged access in companies’ environments. Security starts when users are controlled on what they can access on their computer, which is why effective privilege access management is critical.

Privilege Access Management can provide access where needed and deny where it is not.  This will remove blanket admin rights that can exploit vulnerabilities that may be known or unknown. This can effectively prevent attackers from successfully carrying out an attack.
