  •     Applying the Principle of Least Privilege across the Enterprise
  • When users login to their computers with local administrator privileges they greatly increase the risk of security breaches by viruses, malware and malicious users. By removing administrative privileges and implementing the security best practice of Least Privilege these threats can be avoided and network security increased. However, when managing a least privilege computing environment systems must not only be locked down, but also still allow end users to perform all necessary tasks for their jobs. This paper presents several least privilege implementation options.

  •    How Secure is Group Policy?
  • Group Policy provides a robust, scalable mechanism for enterprise management of security and desktop lockdown configuration. However, as with any complex technology, there are ways to exploit it if basic security practices are not followed. This white paper examines the security of Group Policy in the context of past issues with it and claims by some that it is easily circumvented. This paper also examines the role that the notion of least-privileged user access (LUA) plays in this story.
