Remove Admin Rights

Removing admin rights and enforcing least privilege are best practices that apply across all IT environments, whether Windows, macOs, Unix, Linux, on-premise, or cloud. In fact, from 2015 to 2020, simply removing administrative privileges could have mitigated 75% of all Critical Microsoft vulnerabilities [Microsoft Vulnerabilities Report 2025].

Endpoint Privilege Management—sometimes referred to as privilege elevation and delegation management (PEDM)—enables users to work productively without admin rights. This security technology combines privilege management and application control in a single agent, making admin rights removal simple and scalable across desktops and servers.
