Least privilege on every endpoint — without slowing people down.
Standing local-admin rights are the ransomware on-ramp. We remove them across the fleet with just-in-time elevation and application control — proven at 50,000+ endpoints, using CyberArk EPM.
Why most EPM programmes stall.
Stripping local admin sounds simple — until the helpdesk is flooded and the rollout is paused "temporarily." Doing it without hurting productivity is the whole game.
Fear of breaking productivity
Teams worry that removing admin will block legitimate work, so the rollout never starts — or stops at the first complaint.
Application allow-listing burden
Cataloguing every app that needs elevation feels endless. Without a method, policy work balloons and the project loses momentum.
Scale across the fleet
Tens of thousands of endpoints across regions, OS versions and roles need consistent policy — that's hard to do by hand.
Endless policy tuning
Elevation policies drift as software changes. Without ongoing tuning, users get blocked or quietly over-privileged again.
No phased rollout plan
"Big bang" removal of admin guarantees backlash. Without a staged, monitored plan, even the right move fails politically.
We've removed admin at 50,000+ endpoints without the backlash. Here's how.
Discover. Design. Deploy. Operate.
A phased approach that learns real usage first, then removes standing admin in monitored waves — so productivity never takes the hit.
Discover
Deploy in audit mode to learn which users and applications actually need elevation. Baseline the fleet by OS, role and region.
Design
Least-privilege policy and elevation rules, application control lists, and a staged removal plan that protects high-friction teams.
Deploy
Remove standing admin in monitored waves with just-in-time elevation, application control and threat protection — measured at every step.
Operate
Continuous policy tuning, new-application handling, threat analytics and reporting against a 99.99% SLA — so least privilege holds.
