Endpoint Privilege Management (EPM) is a cybersecurity solution designed to control, manage, and monitor user privileges on endpoints, such as laptops, desktops, and servers. EPM helps enforce the principle of least privilege (PoLP), ensuring that users and applications have only the access they need to perform their tasks—nothing more. By reducing administrative rights and removing unnecessary privileges, EPM minimizes the attack surface and limits the ability of malware or malicious insiders to cause damage. It offers fine-grained control over privileged actions, application execution, and user behavior without disrupting productivity.
An EPM solution enhances your organization’s security by preventing privilege escalation attacks, blocking unauthorized software installation, and controlling risky scripts or executables. It also enables detailed logging and auditing of privileged activities, supporting compliance with data protection and regulatory standards. Whether you’re managing a remote workforce or a large enterprise network, EPM provides the visibility and enforcement needed to protect sensitive data and prevent internal or external threats from exploiting elevated access.
