Endpoint Privilege Management (EPM)
Local admin rights are one of the biggest risks hiding on your endpoints. Endpoint Privilege Management helps you remove unnecessary privileges, without getting in the way of your users.
What Is Endpoint Privilege Management?
Most people don’t need admin rights. But in a lot of companies, they still have them. Because it’s easier, or because IT doesn’t have the time to deal with every single request. And that’s where things start to get risky.
Endpoint Privilege Management, or EPM, is really about fixing that. It gives you control over who can run what, when, and under what conditions. And it does it without locking people out or blowing up your support desk.
Basically, it removes admin rights from day-to-day use. Users run as standard, which means malware or attackers can’t easily hijack elevated permissions. But when they actually do need admin access for something legitimate? They can request it, elevate for a specific task, or have it automatically approved based on clear policies.
And when that’s done? Access drops back down. Simple as that.
It keeps your endpoints a lot safer without grinding work to a halt.
Why Endpoint Privilege Management Actually Matters
You’re Closing Doors Before They Open
By removing standing admin rights, you’re basically taking away one of the easiest tools attackers use. Even if they get a foothold, they can’t easily move sideways or escalate privileges.
You Finally See What’s Happening
Every time someone requests elevation or runs something with higher privileges, it’s logged. You’re not guessing anymore. You know exactly who elevated, when, and why.
Users Keep Working
The goal isn’t to stop people from doing their jobs. It’s to control how and when privileges are used. With EPM, users can still install what they need (if allowed), run updates, or get temporary elevation — but always with the right guardrails in place.
EPM Services That Actually Work
This isn’t just about turning off admin rights and hoping for the best. We help you build an approach that works for your business — one that balances security with how people actually work day to day.
Here’s what we deliver:
Privilege Audit & Baseline
We start by figuring out where you stand. Who has local admin rights? Where are the biggest risks? What tools or processes need elevation? Once we know that, we can build a plan that makes sense. Not one that breaks everything on day one.
Just-In-Time Elevation
Most users don’t need constant admin rights. We set up policies so they can elevate when they actually need it for a specific task, for a short time and then it drops back down automatically.
Application Control
Not every app needs to run as admin. We help you allow certain apps to elevate automatically without giving full rights to the user. That way, your tools work, but malware doesn’t get a free pass.
Context-Aware Policies
Sometimes access needs to depend on where someone is, what device they’re using, or when they’re trying to do something. We help you build rules that fit your real-world use cases.
Monitoring & Reporting
Every elevation, every request, every approval logged. You know exactly who did what, when, and why. And if something suspicious happens? You’ll see it right away.
Why Choose Kommando for Endpoint Privilege Management?
Turning off admin rights sounds simple. But doing it in a way that actually works and keeps users happy is a different story. That’s where we come in.
We’ve Done This Before
We’ve helped companies big and small take control of endpoint privileges. Corporate laptops, developer workstations and servers. We know where the pain points show up, and how to avoid breaking things.
Solutions That Fit Your Setup
Every environment’s different. Some are fully cloud-based. Others have legacy apps that still need admin rights for weird reasons. We build policies that fit your reality. Not just a generic template.
Real Risk Reduction
The goal isn’t just to check a box. It’s to actually reduce your attack surface, lower helpdesk tickets, and give you visibility into what’s really happening on your endpoints.
We Stick Around
We don’t disappear after rollout. If something breaks, if you need to adjust policies, or if your environment changes. We’re still here. Because keeping EPM running smoothly is an ongoing job.
Secure Endpoints Without Slowing People Down
If local admin rights are still floating around everywhere. You’re not alone. But you don’t have to live with that risk.
With Kommando, we help you take control of endpoint privileges in a way that actually works for your business. Less risk, fewer support tickets, and no more crossing your fingers every time someone installs something.
