Endpoint Privilege Management (EPM) at Risksols is a specialized security solution designed to control, manage, and monitor user privileges on endpoint devices—such as laptops, desktops, and servers—while preserving user productivity and minimizing security risks. EPM plays a critical role in reducing the attack surface across enterprise environments by eliminating excessive local admin rights and enforcing the principle of least privilege at the endpoint level.

The process begins with a privilege discovery and baseline assessment, where Risksols identifies all endpoint users with administrative access across Windows, macOS, and Linux devices. This includes local administrator accounts, elevated service accounts, and applications running with high privileges. The assessment evaluates how privileges are used, where unnecessary elevation exists, and which applications or processes rely on admin rights to function.

Following discovery, Risksols applies least privilege enforcement, removing persistent local admin rights from standard users without disrupting their daily operations. Instead of granting blanket administrative access, EPM provides granular, policy-driven privilege elevation, allowing users to run specific applications or perform approved tasks with elevated rights on demand. These privileges are granted through controlled workflows, either automatically via predefined policies or through self-service requests that require approval.

To ensure security and compliance, all elevated actions are monitored, logged, and audited. Risksols captures detailed telemetry on which applications are being run with elevated privileges, by whom, and for what purpose. Alerts are generated for suspicious behavior, such as unknown applications requesting elevation, script execution, or attempts to modify system files or registry settings.
