More Secure Endpoints, Desktops and Laptops
Admin rights removal from desktops and laptops
Studies have shown that a locked down environment where admin rights are removed is more cost effective to support because the end users are less likely to make unnecessary changes to the core system configuration.
A least privileges approach protects your distributed desktop environment against malware and malicious intent to change security settings and disable other security solutions. Implementing a locked down environment is also key in complying with various regulatory and compliance initiatives such as ISO9000.
For Enterprises seeking to secure desktops and laptops, the desktop refresh to Windows 7 can be used as a way to roll out changes in how security privileges are managed on the endpoint so that the local logged on user does not need to have local administrator rights.
Migrating to Windows 7?
Thinking about Locking Down Your Desktops?
Most IT professionals are looking to take advantage of the Windows 7 desktop refresh as an opportunity to move to a least privileges environment to secure and gain better control of its PCs. With this change, however, legacy applications and routine Windows desktops tasks that require administrative rights will need to be considered. Rather than locking down 90% of desktops and leaving the remaining 10% unprotected because these end users need administrative rights to perform their job, IT professionals can use Privilege Management software to elevate privileges as needed.
