Signature-based anti-malware solutions are losing effectiveness, thus protecting your organization by implementing multiple layers of security is necessary to mitigate risk. 

A smart, effective move for an adding another layer of protection against malware is eliminating administrator rights. You already know that widespread administrator rights are an administrative nightmare for IT. Users with administrator privileges install inappropriate applications, run bad software, change system settings, and crash their computers. That’s a bad thing for IT. But were you aware that widespread administrative privileges are also a huge vector for malware attack? By eliminating administrator rights, you can prevent many forms of malware from completing their mission – all without ever needing to update an anti-virus signature. Even some forms of the dreaded zero-day attack can be prevented, with the right approach such as eliminating administrator rights and managing policies to elevate privileges with a solution such as Viewfinity’s Privilege Management solution.
