How to Secure Local Admins with Intune EPM
In this week’s episode of ThreatCast, Ru Campbell is joined by Matt Call, Principal Product Manager at Microsoft, who shares insight on his journey from consulting to product engineering, touching on the challenges associated with implementing changes across endpoints and the vulnerabilities created by over-privileged user accounts.
Endpoint Privilege Management (EPM) is built into Microsoft Intune, housing all configuration management within one Admin Centre. Matt details the tool’s capabilities, the use-cases he’s encountered, and how simplifying what can be a unwieldy process can assist teams in staying on top of who has access to what.
We also touch on the future of security management and the ongoing evolution of Microsoft’s products. Matt provides insights into upcoming trends and his team’s preparations for new challenges, underscoring Microsoft's commitment to maintaining a leading edge in security innovation and how it continues to adapt to meet evolving user needs.
Key Points:
• What are the main challenges in implementing new security settings and managing Defender for Endpoint?
• Why do organisations need a robust EPM policy?
• How can security teams balance the need for control over user devices with the vulnerabilities associated with over-privileged accounts?
• How does the collaborative culture at Microsoft drive innovation in security management?
• What trends and challenges in security management is Microsoft preparing for in the future?
Ru and Matt close out the episode by considering the security trends on the horizon, and what they mean for those in the industry.
