Building a Secure and Compliant Windows Desktop





Virtually every organization is being compelled to improve client security. Auditors, regulators and business unit owners all recognize the threat unsecured desktops pose, and understand the need to comply with the myriad of regulatory and governance issues that make today's headlines. The challenge is doing so while ensuring your users can be as productive as possible. Just removing administrator rights from end users may be the Holy Grail of desktop security, but doing so can have an impact on the everyday activities an end user needs to do their job, whether running certain applications or managing desktop settings that require access to administrative privileges.

Attend this educational eSeminar sponsored by BeyondTrust to discover how to improve desktop security with powerful strategies to effectively remove administrator rights. You'll learn:

  • What you need to know about security and administrative privileges on desktops
  • The compliance requirements for removing administrator rights
  • How to overcome these implementation difficulties and ensure end users can perform all necessary tasks for their jobs
  • Best practices for ensuring high security and maximum availability for everyday client operation
  • What technologies you should turn to for effective implementation
  • Will your users be hamstrung by effective security practices?
Register now for this important event and learn how to avoid doing so while implementing the client security your organization demands.
