Compare AutoElevate vs. ThreatLocker

Malicious individuals are targeting a vast array of computers for compromise. Frequently, these attacks span multiple Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and enterprise organizations, impacting all of their clients at once. Investigations into these incidents have shown that the breaches were executed using relatively simple techniques that could have been prevented through the implementation of fundamental endpoint privilege management practices. Privileged Access Management, commonly referred to as “PAM,” provides solutions for overseeing, securing, monitoring, and limiting privileged access within corporate environments. The foundation of security is established when there is control over what users can access on their devices, which underscores the importance of effective privilege access management. In many instances, users with elevated privileges inadvertently expose sensitive administrative data. Consequently, individuals with administrative rights are often perceived as the greatest internal threat risk, making robust PAM solutions essential for safeguarding organizational assets. By prioritizing these practices, organizations can significantly reduce their vulnerability to such threats.
