  • Implementing elevation control measures can significantly reduce security incidents by restricting user permissions for specific applications.

Deep dives

The Significance of Elevation Control

Elevation control is a crucial feature that allows organizations to specify which users can run specific programs with varying permission levels. This capability enables an organization to allow a developer, for instance, to operate a particular program as a local administrator without granting them full local admin access. By limiting such permissions, organizations can reduce their attack surface and enhance overall security. The podcast highlights that the effective implementation of elevation control could significantly reduce the number of security incidents linked to improper permissions.
