Almost every cyberattack today involves the exploitation of privileges. Broad privileges and entitlements greatly expand the attack surface and leave your organization extremely vulnerable to security breaches.

However, a least-privilege access approach requires that users and programs receive the least amount of permission when required to complete specific tasks. Least privilege is one of the most essential security measures for organizations seeking to protect their estate against modern and legacy cyber threats.

Watch the on-demand recording for a Tech Talk and Live Demo to learn how BeyondTrust’s Endpoint Privilege Management (EPM) solution complements least-privilege access with advanced application control that allows you to condense the attack surface.

Specifically, attendees learned the benefits of EPM, including how to:

• Remove unnecessary privileges, including local admin rights, to achieve least-privilege and proactively control the applications users can install or run. 
• Protect against external cyber threats by limiting the attacker’s lateral movement. 
• Protect against internal errors by giving users only the necessary privileges to do their job. 
• Help pass audits and achieve compliance by simplifying the process and offering a single, unimpeachable audit trail of user activity.  
• Integrate with other critical security solutions to enhance overall visibility and effectiveness. 
• Protect endpoints across Windows, macOS, Unix, and Linux systems, as well as non-traditional endpoints, such as network devices, virtual machines, and multi-cloud environments.
