Presentation Details
The Principle of Least Privilege is a security best practice developed by the Department of Defense over 30 years ago. It states that each subject in a system should be given the most restrictive set of privileges necessary to complete their authorized tasks in order to limit the damage resulting from accident, error or unauthorized use. This principle takes on even greater importance in today’s enterprise computing environments, where properly limiting user privileges can play a key role in reducing both the threat of data breaches and infection from malware.

During a Peer2Peer discussion, “Implementing the Security Best Practice of Least Privilege,” Marco Peretti will moderate an interactive discussion among network and security practitioners to address the following items:

• Implementing the principle of Least Privilege in a Windows environment.
• Microsoft Windows Vista's User Account Control (UAC) in the enterprise.
• Successfully promoting Least Privilege to end users and management.

Peretti, an enterprise security expert, has over 15 years experience engineering security solutions. As CTO of BeyondTrust, Peretti developed a dynamic per-process privilege management system to enable Least Privilege on Windows over two years ago. Before joining BeyondTrust Peretti founded SecureWave, an endpoint security software developer, and NeoValens S.A., a Windows security provider.
