Endpoint Privilege Management

Definitions

1. Controls that limit, broker, or temporarily elevate privileges on end-user devices instead of granting broad standing administrator rights. Endpoint privilege management reduces the damage from malware and user mistakes by making privileged actions explicit and constrained.

   In plain English: Managing admin rights on devices so elevated access is limited and controlled.

   Example: "Endpoint privilege management let developers install approved tools without staying local admins all day."
