Compelling Reasons for Least Privilege

Free! Registration is required.

Here's a Golden Rule for Windows: Users should not be configured as local administrators on their desktop.

 

This white paper discusses the best practice strategies enterprises can use to move a user to a least privilege environment, where they do not have local administrative privileges. By implementing least privilege, your enterprise can save money in many different ways, including:

  • downtime,
  • helpdesk cycles,
  • and loss of money due to incorrect desktop configurations performed by the user.

 

Read the white paper to learn why any desktop controlled by a user logged in as a local administrator is a rogue computer. IT staff, helpdesk, and domain Admins have no control over a computer in this state.
