Remove
Local Admin

Every endpoint with local admin rights is an open door for malware. One user installs an unapproved tool, one drive-by download exploits elevated permissions, and suddenly ransomware owns your network. Remove Local Admin eliminates that risk with the Admin By Request platform.

Local admin is the silent enabler of every endpoint compromise. Remove it, and you cut the attacker’s runway in half.
