Integrate Compliance and Regulations Almost every organization faces some kind of compliance mandate or regulatory requirement. There have, for example, been major recent updates to regulations such as the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard, National Institute of Standards and Technology, Cyber Essentials, EU General Data Protection Regulation, and the California Consumer Privacy Act. They all include requirements for data privacy meant to rein in over privileged access by users. Therefore, you must integrate compliance and regulations that apply to your organization into your data impact assessment, risk-based assessment, and privileged access management (PAM). Combine PAM and Least Privilege to Control Access and Actions A PAM solution helps with defining policies, discovering privileged accounts, applying security controls, auditing usage, and alerting abuse. Combining PAM with least privilege security allows an organization to elevate privilege On Demand, offer onetime passwords, and increase and decrease privileges based on dynamic risk and threats. PAM helps control privileges, so they’re available when needed, and end-users aren’t over privileged all the time. Incorporate Application Control Application control is technology that enables an organization to elevate application privileges so trusted and approved applications can execute even if users don’t inherently have access. On the flip side, application control prevents untrusted applications from executing even if the user has the privileges that permit them to install applications. If an application is unknown, it can be “quarantined” and prevented from executing until further analysis determines whether the application is malicious or authentic. Manage/Protect Privileges Granted to Users Separating least privileged users from privileged accounts allows an organization much more control and security over how privileges are granted to users and determines a risk-based approach to what’s an accepted risk. This step allows the organization to adopt a zero-trust security posture that’s enforced by a least privilege strategy, reducing the risk from cyberattacks but maintaining empowered employees and productivity without the pain. Applying the core principles of least privilege is a foundational element of your cybersecurity strategy. By removing local administrative privileges on endpoints, you reduce your attack surface and block the primary attack vector, preventing the vast majority of attacks from occurring.
Before you start implementing next-generation Endpoint Protection Platforms (EPP) or complex Endpoint Discovery and Remediation solutions (EDRs), you should consider a least privilege strategy with application control solution. Proactive protection based on least privilege means less time and resources spent detecting an infection, chasing down hackers once they’ve already entered your network, and remediating the damage.
