BeyondTrust�s PowerBroker for Windows is a fast and flexible solution for privilege management and application control
on physical and virtual Microsoft Windows desktops and servers. It enforces least-privilege policies and limits insider attack
vectors by eliminating Windows admin privileges, maintaining application access control, and logging privileged activities.
PowerBroker for Windows also eliminates many of the headaches associated applying least privilege practices in real-world
environments. The fact remains that many applications need Admin privileges to execute properly. Therefore, PowerBroker
for Windows can selectively elevate an application�s privileges (based on pre-configured rules and policies), without ever
having to elevate the user�s privileges beyond standard user. This means that applications continue to function as needed
and users can remain productive, without requiring frequent calls to internal IT Help Desks.
Unlike other least-privilege management solutions, PowerBroker for Windows further reduces risk with patented
Vulnerability-Based Application Management (VBAM) capabilities, which scan applications for vulnerabilities at run time
– triggering alerts, reducing application privileges, or preventing launch altogether based on agency or department policy.
The solution also has several patents for privilege escalation technologies.
