Building a Secure and Compliant Windows Desktop

Improving desktop security is a key initiative for nearly all companies. This is fueled by an increased recognition of the threat unsecured desktops pose, as well as a need to meet compliance regulations. Removing administrator rights from end users when they log into their desktop is the Holy Grail of desktop security.

Security implications when users operate computers with administrative privileges
The compliance requirements for removing administrator rights
How to overcome implementation difficulties and ensure end users can perform all necessary tasks for their jobs
The combination of technologies needed for effective implementation
