By Darren Mar-Elia, Microsoft Group Policy MVP
Long-time Windows engineer and current Microsoft Group Policy MVP, Darren Mar-Elia, knows balancing the needs of the user with the needs of security folks has always been a huge challenge. Users want access to everything, all the time—they want to be able to browse anywhere and install any software they find to get their job done. On the other side, the security folks want to protect an organisation’s assets—be they customer information, intellectual property or the ability to sell a product. These seemingly incongruous needs often come to a head on the Windows desktop, which is the main entry point for the user into an enterprise network.
In his new whitepaper, From Least Privilege to Best Privilege on your Windows Desktops, released October 2010, Dr Mar-Elia examines this age-old struggle and will help you understand how you can find the right balance “Best Privilege.”
