Download as PPTX, PDF0 likes76 views
Endpoint Privilege Management (EPM) is vital for cybersecurity, focusing on limiting privileged access to endpoint devices to prevent data breaches. Key components include user management, least privilege principles, and automated workflows for policy enforcement. Challenges like user resistance and legacy system compatibility arise, while future trends point towards AI integration and broader cloud protection.
