Most organizations deploy a standard desktop, which in many instances is locked down in such a way that the users often become frustrated. This leads to users being given administrator rights, which means they then have the privileges necessary to alter the desktop configuration — sometimes to an organization’s detriment. How do you address the challenge of effectively managing user privileges and achieving a “least risk” Windows desktop environment? Avecto Privilege Guard and McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator (McAfee ePO) software help you empower users by implementing a policy of “least privilege” security, which assigns users and programs the minimum permissions required to complete a given task.

Leveraging the power of McAfee ePO, Avecto makes all of the privilege management data collected by Privilege Guard visible through rich, interactive dashboards and reports. Deployment times can be reduced and implementation simplified by deploying the Privilege Guard Client directly from McAfee ePO software.

With the ability to scale to hundreds of thousands of endpoints and centralize data for application access and elevation, it is now possible to create a workflow process that provides a holistic approach to privilege management and application security. Additionally, Privilege Guard makes it simple to give all users the privileges they need to remain productive, empowering them wherever they are without impacting the security posture of your systems and networks.

Avecto Privilege Guard 2.8 and McAfee ePO 4.6.

Agent deployment and event integration. Avecto uses McAfee ePO software to deploy Privilege Guard agents and also sends privilege management data collected by Privilege Guard to ePO dashboards.

The integration is available directly from Avecto with the products that comprise the McAfee Compatible solution.
