Managing user privileges effectively has become a cornerstone of robust security strategies, as more organizations face increasing cyber threats. Excessive user rights can expose systems to security risks, increasing the chances of data breaches, malware infections, and insider threats. If a compromised account has too many privileges, attackers can exploit these permissions to cause widespread damage, leading to financial losses and reputational harm. Furthermore, users with excessive permissions might inadvertently modify system settings, leading to instability and performance issues.
The Principle of Least Privilege
BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management (ePM) is a leading tool to help businesses protect their environments by enforcing the principle of least privilege, without hindering productivity.
BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management is designed to help organizations control and monitor user privileges on various endpoints. Implementing the principle of least privilege ensures that users have only the necessary permissions to perform their job functions, reducing the attack surface and minimizing the risk of insider threats and external attacks. |  |
Key capabilities of BeyondTrust EPM include:
On-Demand Privilege Elevation: Users can request temporary privilege elevation for approved applications, ensuring that administrative access is only granted when absolutely necessary. This prevents unauthorized changes while allowing employees to complete their tasks efficiently.
Application Control: BeyondTrust EPM provides strict control over which applications users can run, ensuring that only authorized and safe programs are executed on company devices.
Detailed Privileged Activity Tracking: The platform logs and reports all privileged activities, allowing security teams to monitor usage patterns, detect anomalies, and quickly respond to potential threats.
Zero-Trust and Zero-Standing Privileges (ZSP): Organizations can take a step toward a Zero-Trust security model, ensuring that privileged access is granted dynamically and only when necessary, reducing the risk of persistent administrative accounts being exploited by attackers.
By implementing these security measures, businesses can enhance their overall security posture while ensuring seamless user productivity.
BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management provides on-demand privilege elevation for recognized and trusted applications, manages application usage, and tracks and reports on privileged activities. With this solution, you can establish critical zero-trust security measures for endpoints and progress toward a zero-standing privileges (ZSP) strategy.BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management (EPM) offers a powerful solution to manage and monitor user privileges across desktops, laptops, and servers, embodying the principle of least privilege.
