Local accounts are often excluded from existing lifecycle management policies because they can be easily created by an endpoint’s administrator. This leaves behind unmanaged accounts that can be used to access other critical systems in search of more privileged identities.

Challenges Detecting and Managing Local Accounts
.
- Comprehensive Discovery Capabilities: Implement advanced endpoint discovery technologies that utilize multi-vector scanning techniques, leveraging network and agent-based discovery mechanisms to map local accounts across every system.
- Automated Local Account Governance: Deploy sophisticated identity lifecycle management platforms that automatically detect, classify, and reconcile local accounts, implementing intelligent policy enforcement and remediation workflows that minimize manual intervention.
- Cross-Platform Normalization: Develop unified identity management strategies that transcend platform-specific limitations, creating normalized discovery and management framework layers capable of consistently identifying and controlling local accounts across heterogeneous environments.
- Privileged Access Control: Implement dynamic local account management solutions that leverage just-in-time privilege elevation, comprehensive auditing, and behavioral analytics to precisely control and monitor local administrative access.
- Continuous Compliance Monitoring: Establish persistent local account governance frameworks that automatically detect policy violations, generate real-time compliance insights, and proactively remediate potential security risks associated with unmanaged local accounts.
Detect and manage local accounts on any type endpoint
Detect Accounts that Bypassed Policies
Proactively surface ungoverned local users that are not managed by IAM, PAM, ITDR and IGA systems before they can be used to breach your systems and automatically take action to include the missing user in existing applicable policies.
Continuous Account Monitoring
Continuously detect new local accounts and their access right changes so they cannot be maliciously utilized to execute privileged actions.
Local Account Hygiene and Posture Management
Eliminate poor security posture of local accounts by detecting stale passwords, compromised credentials, identities not enrolled in MFA, high failed login attempts and many other indicators or risk in near real-time.
