    Endpoint Privilege Management

    Let standard users run approved elevated tasks — without admin rights.

    Microsoft Endpoint Privilege Management (EPM) lets users run as standard users while still performing approved tasks that require elevation — through rules and just-in-time approval — removing standing local admin rights, a major attack vector. It enforces least privilege on the endpoint without blocking productivity. Faltrox operates it as managed endpoint privilege management.

    Overview

    What Endpoint Privilege Management is

    Standing local administrator rights are one of the biggest endpoint attack vectors — if a user is a local admin, so is any malware that compromises them. But removing admin rights entirely breaks the legitimate tasks users occasionally need to elevate for. Microsoft Endpoint Privilege Management resolves this: users run as standard users, and approved tasks are elevated through policy.

    It lets you define rules for which applications or tasks can be elevated automatically, and require user justification or admin approval (just-in-time) for others — so users perform legitimate elevated tasks without holding standing admin rights. It provides full auditing of elevations. That enforces least privilege on the endpoint, closing a major attack vector, without blocking productivity. Faltrox operates it as managed endpoint privilege management.

    How the product moves from signal to protected state, step by step.

    1. 01

      Remove Admin

      Users are set as standard users, removing standing local admin rights.

    2. 02

      Define Rules

      Rules define which applications and tasks can be elevated automatically.

    3. 03

      Approve Just-in-Time

      Other elevations require user justification or admin approval.

    4. 04

      Audit

      Every elevation is audited for visibility and compliance.

    5. 05

      Operate

      Faltrox defines the rules and approval workflow and operates it as managed EPM.

    FAQ

    Common questions

    01Why remove local admin rights?

    Standing local admin rights are one of the biggest endpoint attack vectors — if a user is a local admin, any malware that compromises them inherits admin rights and can do far more damage. Removing standing admin and enforcing least privilege dramatically reduces that risk.

    02Won’t removing admin rights break legitimate tasks?

    That is exactly what EPM solves. Users run as standard users, but approved tasks are elevated through rules (automatic) or just-in-time approval (with justification or admin sign-off) — so legitimate elevated tasks still get done without users holding standing admin rights.

    03How does just-in-time elevation work?

    For tasks not covered by automatic rules, EPM requires the user to provide justification or requires admin approval before elevating — so elevation is granted per-task, audited, and controlled, rather than users having permanent admin.

    04Is every elevation audited?

    Yes — EPM provides full auditing of every elevation, giving visibility into what was elevated, by whom, and why, which supports both security investigation and compliance. Faltrox reviews that audit as part of operations.

    05How does Faltrox operate it?

    We define the elevation rules and approval workflows, remove standing admin rights, and operate the policy and audit — delivering managed endpoint privilege management that enforces least privilege without blocking productivity.
