Applying the Principle of Least Privilege to Windows 7

This paper introduces the application of least privilege on Windows 7 (which applies equally to Windows Vista). It provides an overview of User Account Control (UAC), its benefits and limitations, and why a policy driven approach is more suitable for corporate environments.

You’ll also learn about Avecto Privilege Guard, which provides a policy driven approach. It is centrally managed through Active Directory Group Policy, eliminating the need to provide users with access to an account with administrator rights.
