Windows least privilege management and beyond

Supplied by Centrify Asia Pacific on Thursday, 18 April, 2013


Devising an enterprise-wide privilege access scheme for Windows systems is complex. For Windows environments it is critical that organisations can delegate administration and establish granular privileges quickly and efficiently to restrict administrators to access only the servers and resources required to perform their job.

Given the limitation of native tools, it has been common practice in Windows environments to assign privileged users high levels of administrative privilege so that IT staff could fix any problem that might occur at any time, even if that grants access to resources in the environment that administrators should not have privileged access to.
