What are the benefits of implementing least privilege access with CyberArk EPM?

Implementing least privilege access with CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager (EPM) significantly reduces the attack surface of your systems by ensuring that users only have the permissions necessary to perform their specific tasks. This principle of least privilege limits user access to sensitive data and critical system functionalities, minimizing the risk of data breaches that can occur when users have excessive or unnecessary privileges.

By restricting user permissions, EPM helps to prevent malware from executing with administrative rights, thus decreasing the potential for unauthorized access and exploitation of vulnerabilities within the system. A reduced attack surface means attackers have fewer opportunities to exploit elevated privileges or access sensitive resources, contributing to an overall more secure environment.

While increased system complexity, the need for frequent password changes, and enhanced user experience might relate to various aspects of security implementations, they do not directly describe benefits of least privilege access as it pertains to reducing risk and securing systems.
