Just wanted to thank you for the great new component, PolicyPak Least Privilege Manager. We tried using Whitelisting products in the past; but the time and effort to get it to work was truly draining. I love the ability in “one click” to authorize everything that I installed (and permit to run), but block running everything else that users might try to run on their own. What a great layer of security above and beyond just stopping users from being admins of their machines. We might not be the largest environment out there, we were able to get PolicyPak Least Privilege Manager and the Secure Run Policy working in under a day. We started testing the Friday it was released, pushed it out the next Monday. We used the downloadable preconfigured XML rule to enable GoToMeeting to be installed as a Standard User, then quickly created our own similar XML rule based upon that for Webex. We also have an application that we gave special permissions to a few users to run as admins. I was able to just let that single app run with elevated admin permissions and took away admin privileges plugging another security vulnerability. We were instantly secure in under two business days. We use Firefox as our go to browser here and being able to set the default search engine and apply extensions is a win for us. I applied the Firefox stuff early in the week and it worked the first time as expected, just like everything else you guys ship. Couldn’t be happier with my PolicyPak investment!
