How to Reduce Risk From Local Administrator Accounts on Employee Devices

Standing local administrator rights increase the impact of malicious software and accidental changes.

Checks to make

Inventory who has local admin rights and why, remove unnecessary standing access, and provide a controlled elevation path for approved tasks. Test common workflows first and monitor elevation events so business needs are addressed without permanent broad privileges.
