Privilege Manager for Windows
Privilege Manager for Windows is a ‘sudo for Windows’ solution that fortifies control and security of admin accounts on Windows systems. It features a number of configuration options for end-user access to the desktop admin account. Privilege Manager for Windows delivers flexibility that IT needs with the security the organization demands. This enables you to control the elevated permissions for desktop users as part of your organization’s endpoint privilege management program.
Key Benefits
Reduce your attack surface
Maintain a strong defensive posture
Control desktop admin access
Maximize user productivity
Features
Flexible deployment
Your IT team has a bevy of installation options from which to choose, including our client-deployment wizard, a client Windows installer file (.msi) and Microsoft’s GPMC.
Client control
With the Client Data Collection Settings Wizard, you can collect client data for reporting, support discovery and leverage launch-on-demand features, as well as to enhance your endpoint privilege management capabilities.
Elevation on-demand
Take advantage of myriad options for end-user admin access to optimize productivity and security. Options types include: Instant Elevation, Self-service Elevation, Requested Elevation, Temporary Session Elevation and No Elevation.
Workflow
Ensure that end users and admins are always on the same page for approval processes with email notifications.
Privileged application discovery
Collect information about the privileged applications used over your network during a specified time. With this critical knowledge, you can create a rule to allow a user without elevated privileges to launch the app they need – or choose to mark it as processed so that it will not display in the applications list for that user (unless the filter is specifically set to display it).
Reporting
Stay apprised of what’s happening on your Windows desktops. You can get quick and simple status reporting of Elevation Activity, Blacklist Activity, Rules Deployment, Instant Elevation, Temporary-Session Elevation Requests and Rule Details reports.
