BeyondTrust- The Essentials Series: Eliminating Administrator Rights
Too often in today's IT environments the solution for difficult users is to simply grant them administrator rights and move along. Yet that accumulated distribution of admin rights significantly weakens security and hurts IT's ability to control the environment. In these three articles we'll talk about the issues of granting users admin rights and solutions to enable Least Privilege.
Article 1 - Understanding Least Privilege
Any discussion on the right-sizing of administrative privileges starts with a solid understanding of how Least Privilege works.
Article 2 - The Business Benefits of Eliminating Administrator Rights
Once you understand the right ways in which rights should be assigned your next job is in recognizing how it will benefit IT operations, security, and compliance.
Article 3 - Limitations in Native Solutions for Privilege Management
