How to Remove Local Admin Rights from Windows Users Without Impacting the Business

Local Admin rights on Windows computers can be very powerful. Which also means they can be very dangerous. The most common attack vector is via users targeted by attackers who have too much privilege as they can install malware without IT ever knowing.

In this video, you see how Local Admin rights can be removed from *all* users, including a line of business staff and system administrators, in ways that are both auditable and don't impact the business. It's all achieved using Osirium Privileged Endpoint Management (PEM).
