Netwrix Privileged Access Management (PAM)
Protect endpoints by enforcing least privilege
Protect endpoints and maintain productivity with just-in-time admin access. Netwrix Privilege Secure enforces least privilege by granting temporary, audited access only when needed to reduce risk.
Why Netwrix for least privilege enforcement?
Netwrix Endpoint Privilege Manager solves this by enforcing least privilege through granular elevation at the application or command level. This ensures users complete necessary tasks without exposing endpoints to unnecessary risk.
Eliminate blanket admin rights
Remove full local admin privileges and replace them with controlled, task-specific access.
Reduce malware and ransomware risks
Least privilege prevents malicious software from installing or spreading by restricting unnecessary rights.
Maintain user productivity
Granular elevation enables users to run approved applications and commands securely without IT intervention.
Strengthen compliance
Demonstrate enforcement of least privilege policies for frameworks like PCI DSS, HIPAA, and NIST.
Features that protect endpoints with least privilege
Example:
Employee installs unauthorized software
During a security assessment, the IT team uses Netwrix Privilege Secure to scan Active Directory and cloud systems. The scan uncovers multiple dormant local admin accounts and an orphaned domain admin account that had not been used in over six months.
Privilege escalation blocked
With Netwrix Endpoint Privilege Manager in place, the malware cannot execute administrative actions. It fails to install system services or modify security settings, stopping the attack before it spreads.
Approved application elevated securely
Later, the same employee needs to update a legitimate business application. Netwrix Endpoint Privilege Manager automatically elevates privileges for that approved program only, allowing the task to complete without IT intervention.
Activity logged for visibility
All privilege elevation events are recorded in detailed logs, showing which application ran with elevated rights, by whom, and when.
Endpoint stays secure and compliant
Endpoints across the organization operate without standing admin rights. Security teams reduce ransomware risk while meeting compliance requirements for frameworks like PCI DSS, HIPAA, and NIST.
Result
With Netwrix Endpoint Privilege Manager, organizations eliminate full local admin rights without impacting productivity. Users perform their work securely with task-specific privilege elevation, and IT teams maintain control, visibility, and compliance across all endpoints.
