858 Microsoft vulnerabilities were disclosed last year - a record high. According to the 2020 Microsoft Vulnerabilities Report, 77% of the Critical vulnerabilities could have been mitigated if one simple step had been taken – remove unmanaged admin rights. In fact, most traditional malware can be mitigated by implementing a least-privilege approach.
Join Sami Laiho, Microsoft MVP and Ethical Hacker, on this insightful webinar as he explores how least privilege, whitelisting, MFA and employee education are the keys to enhancing your organization’s security in 2020 and beyond.
