Use Case

Remove End Users' Admin Rights Without Backlash

Control admin rights

The onslaught of malware and ransomware has driven even organisations in minimally regulated industries to remove admin rights from all users. However, while locking down desktops reduces risk, it also significantly reduces end user experience quality. Users hampered by poor experiences produce less and call the help desk more. Those users can also react to system lockdowns by turning to ‘shadow IT’ work-arounds, creating new security risks.

60-Second Overview

"What is admin rights removal?"

For users with access to the exact capabilities and apps they need to do their jobs, admin rights removal isn’t an issue—if they even notice.

When is a Lockdown Not a Lockdown?

Handle exceptions with a self-service model that allows users to self-elevate, but has protection and auditing built in.

Trust, But Verify

Separate actionable endpoint data from the noise, track critical KPIs, and identify suspicious behavior.

A Painless Whitelisting Alternative

Stop making and maintaining lists. Focus instead on who’s authorized to provide applications to users.

Know Who’s Compliant—and Not

Spot OS and application adoption trends and out-of-compliance endpoints in your environment.

Block What’s Untrusted

If it’s not running, it can’t attack your endpoints.

Enforce Security Policy Based on Context

Risk varies based on end user context. Adjust policies accordingly—users will get it.

Make it Personal

Personalize a user’s environment at a granular level and they’ll never feel constrained.

Give users what they need while protecting endpoints

Balance administrative rights control and user productivity demands, and users will thank you.

User-First Least Privilege

Apply precise user privilege levels with no negative impact on user workflow. Allow optional self-elevation based on pre-defined algorithms and capture the endpoint data needed to analyze how policies align with real-world business needs.

Manageable Application Control

Mitigate threats without manually managing extensive whitelists and blacklists and without creating user productivity obstacles. Trusted Ownership™ allows only applications introduced by trusted administrators to execute, so ransomware won’t run.

Address Advanced Enterprise Use Cases

Cover most eventualities with application limits and time restrictions. Restrict access to network resources. Invoke contextual URL redirection, granular control over web application installation, anti-tampering, and change control. Support comprehensive auditing.

With a Personalized Desktop, Users Don’t Miss Having Admin Rights

Capture all user-specific operating system and application customizations. Maintain customizations centrally to deliver a consistent, personalized desktop on demand.

Fine-Grained, Contextual Policy Control

Meet corporate and industry-based compliance mandates such as HIPAA, FINRA, and PCI by enforcing policy in real time during the user session, not just at logon. To optimize the user experience, multiple policies are processed in parallel.

Protect Endpoints Through Better Visibility

Spot suspicious endpoint behaviors, such as unknown processes starting at logon. Know exactly who has admin rights, and see user self-elevation trends. Identify suspicious files introduced to any endpoint.
