With the Windows XP sunset date fast approaching, plans for Windows 7 migrations are in full swing. This has prompted most organizations to also re-assess their approach to PC lockdown. With the advanced privilege management capabilities offered by Viewfinity, enterprises have an alternative to the "all or nothing" approach to least privileges – because an "all or nothing" methodology prohibits organizations from meeting compliance, security and desktop operations goals. To ensure compliance enforcement, we also provide identity access and intelligence via compliance validation reporting and privileged account activity auditing.
This webinar discusses how Viewfinity Privilege Management allows IT professionals to reach these objectives without sacrificing user productivity or increasing support call volume. We will demonstrate a flexible approach that addresses the entire scope of how you can manage your locked down environment, including how to:
- Control User Permissions/Privilege Elevation
- Block Prohibited Applications from Executing
- Configure and Automate Compliance Policy Management
- Validate Compliance Enforcement through Audit Trail Reporting

Managing the mobile user is quickly becoming the number one pain point in desktop management, and is a challenge that continues to escalate. Most IT professionals are struggling for a better method for locking down remote PCs without impacting productivity or increasing help desk calls.
Viewfinity offers true native remote privilege management capabilities with absolute network independence; there is no reliance on corporate network connectivity or VPN. All privilege management is done through a secure and encrypted HTTPS connection. Our Privilege Management features are integrated with Active Directory however, Viewfinity does not require laptops or desktops to be part of the Active Directory domain or to be directly connected to the corporate network in order to activate policies that manage administrator privileges. As soon as the PC connects to the internet, Viewfinity delivers the policies and rules established by the IT Administrator. Once delivered, all policies continue to be enforced even while working offline.
