Microsoft recommends restricting local administrator accounts on workstations and servers.

Hackers and bad actors require admin rights so that they can embed machines with malicious code. Despite the risk, IT departments assign elevated permissions because users often need local admin rights to run and install business-critical applications and scripts. Unfortunately for organizations, even one over-privileged user presents a significant risk to workstations, whether or not UAC is enabled.

Join Jeremy Moskowitz, 17X Microsoft MVP, for a live product demo of Netwrix PolicyPak. You'll see how Netwrix PolicyPak can help you prevent breaches, enforce compliance, and meet critical requirements for cyber insurance.

With the Netwrix PolicyPak Least Privilege Management Pak, you don't have to give away local admin rights. Instead, PolicyPak lets you configure rules that enable standard users to overcome UAC prompts without the elevated security risk.

During this session you will learn how to:

• Remove Local Admin rights without affecting productivity
• Automatically block ransomware and unknown-ware
• Automatically block USB & CD-ROMs for inbound ransomware and outbound data exfiltration
• Manage and secure your browsers, applications and middleware
