Why Tech TroubleShooters for Privileged Access Elevation Control?

Frequently asked questions

Will removing admin rights stop staff working?

No. Elevation is granted quickly for legitimate tasks, while risky activity is blocked.

What is just-in-time elevation?

It means admin rights are granted only when needed, for a specific task, and then removed.

Do we keep logs of elevated actions?

Yes. Every elevation request and action is logged for review and compliance.

Is this part of the Essential Eight?

Yes. Restricting administrative privileges is a key ACSC Essential Eight strategy.

Several layers of protection, on the sensible assumption that any one of them will have a bad day eventually. Software on every computer watches for odd behaviour, and can stop an attack and undo the damage. For businesses that need more, specialist analysts look for intruders the software missed, and only approved programs are allowed to run.
