Privilege Guard allows organizations to adopt the principle of least privilege by enabling users to run with standard rights and elevate individual applications based on policy settings. With Privilege Guard it is no longer necessary to assign admin rights to users, as these rights can now be assigned dynamically to applications, tasks and scripts. Privilege Guard enables users to log on with minimal rights and empowers them to perform their day to day role, without compromising the integrity and security of the standard desktop build.
Removing administrative rights for corporate users is a difficult problem to resolve for almost all organizations, making the deployment of locked down desktops a real challenge. The need for users to configure certain aspects of their computer configuration, run legacy applications and install authorized software are just some of the reasons why users often require excessive privileges.
Avecto Privilege Guard gives control back to the IT department by providing a solution that enables all users to run with standard rights. Policy settings determine which applications should be elevated, and Privilege Guard adds administrative privileges to the process tokens of individual applications as they launch. The experience is seamless to the end user, and does not require the user or Privilege Guard to have access to an administrative account, as all elevated applications still run in the full context of the logged on user.
