Adminize

Because always-on admin rights are so last decade.

Still handing out permanent local admin rights? It’s time to stop making attackers’ lives easy. In this fast-paced session, Sami Laiho demonstrates how to implement just-in-time administrative access that gives users elevated rights only when they truly need them and for what hey need the for.

You'll see practical techniques for removing standing privileges while preserving productivity, using EPM tools and smart configuration.

"Admin Rights are not Human Rights"

You will learn:
