Eliminating Local Admin Rights on Workstations Without Paralyzing Productivity

The High Price of Convenience

Granting employees local administrator rights on their laptops eliminates helpdesk tickets for software installation—but it allows any clicked malware, malicious macro, or browser exploit to install kernel drivers, disable security agents, and steal credentials.

Deploying Windows LAPS (Local Administrator Password Solution)

Never use a single shared local administrator password across enterprise workstations. Windows LAPS automatically generates unique, complex passwords for the local admin account on each computer and stores them securely in Entra ID or Active Directory.

Just-In-Time Elevation Tools

Deploy Endpoint Privilege Management (EPM) tools that allow approved developer or engineer tasks to elevate privileges for specific signed binaries without granting the user ambient administrative rights.
