Privilege management

One of Defendpoint's core capabilities

Privilege management

Defendpoint's mature privilege management capability allows you to remove admin rights from all users to stop attackers from exploiting privileges and gaining access to your data.

Working in tandem with application control, this powerful combination makes whitelisting simple - allowing you to assign privileges directly to applications, tasks and scripts to protect the endpoint against attacks that hit the operating system.

We take a policy-based approach so that rules are assigned to different groups of users, depending on the specific needs of your business departments.

  • Eliminate admin rights from all users without negative impact, including sysadmins
