Overview

This release solves one of the biggest operational security challenges facing organizations today: implementing a least privilege security posture without impacting end user productivity. CISOs and other security leaders have been telling us that ‘least privilege’ security sounds great in theory but is nearly impossible to implement in practice. They all want to remove local administrative rights but are afraid of the pushback from end users.

The 10.4 release introduces Local Security Solution (LSS) as part of the Privilege Manager product. LSS allows administrators to easily implement and enforce a least privileged security posture across their organization’s endpoints, eliminating a major attack vector without disrupting end user productivity. This functionality, coupled with native application control in Privilege Manager, can help prevent malware from exploiting local credentials on endpoints – the most vulnerable part of an attack surface.
