Endpoint Privilege Manager

Your first line of
defence, right at
the endpoint.

Iraje EPM extends privileged access governance to the endpoint removing standing local-admin rights, elevating only what's needed just-in-time, and recording, transcribing and analysing every privileged action.

The Threat

Endpoints are Ground Zero for Cyberattacks

Endpoints are the primary entry point for most cyberattacks and modern ransomware almost always begins there before spreading across the enterprise.

That's why endpoint security is now a central pillar of enterprise cybersecurity and why preventing privilege misuse at the endpoint matters more than ever.

Why endpoints are exposed ?

Users interact directly with emails and websites every day

Credentials are stored on the endpoint itself

Remote work has dramatically expanded the attack surface

Malware almost always starts at the endpoint layer

How One Click Becomes a Full Environment Takeover

EPM breaks the chain at privilege escalation, the step every attacker depends on.

The missing layer

A mature endpoint stack, with one critical gap

Most enterprise endpoints already run a deep security stack. But almost every layer is built to detect and respond. Very few are built to prevent.

Why detection alone isn't enough?

Microsoft LAPS is the most common tool for local admin password rotation — but it only covers Windows endpoints, and only rotates passwords. EDR and XDR are powerful, but they are built to monitor, detect and respond after an attacker is already active.

EPM is the preventive control that precedes EDR/XDR — enforcing least privilege so the attack never escalates in the first place.

EPM vs EDR/XDR

Prevention and detection solve different problems

EDR and XDR are built to detect and respond once an attacker is active. EPM is built to make sure the attack never escalates in the first place. The strongest endpoint security uses both.

EPMPreventing

Stops the attack from starting

Enforces least privilege so malware has no admin rights to execute, escalate or spread.

EDRDetecting

Detects the attack when it starts

Monitors endpoint processes, files and memory for suspicious activity, then reacts.

XDRCorrelating

Connects & responds across systems

Correlates telemetry across endpoint, cloud, identity and email for coordinated response.

Detailed comparison

Capability	Iraje EPM	EDR	XDR
Primary Objective	Enforce least privilege & control admin rights	Detect & respond to endpoint threats	Detect & correlate threats across ecosystem
Security Approach	Preventive (Zero Trust)	Detective + Reactive	Detective + Correlated Response
Core Function	Remove standing admin rights, enable JIT elevation	Monitor endpoints for suspicious activity	Aggregate telemetry across endpoint, cloud, identity
Attack Stage Covered	Before the attack executes	During / after attack execution	During & across the attack lifecycle
Admin Rights Control	Full control — remove, rotate, elevate	Limited / indirect	Not designed for this
Attack Surface Reduction	Very High — eliminates privilege misuse	Moderate	Moderate
Threat Detection	Focused on privilege behaviour	Strong endpoint detection	Strong cross-domain detection
Response Actions	Allow / deny elevation, session control, logging	Kill process, isolate device	Cross-domain automated response
Ransomware Protection	Removes rights & blocks elevation	Detects & stops encryption	Detects spread & correlates signals
Lateral Movement Control	Strong — no credentials to move with	Detects suspicious movement	Detects across identity + network
AI / Analytics	Focused on privilege behaviour	Behavioural analytics, threat intel	AI correlation across multiple signals
Coverage Scope	Endpoint privilege layer	Endpoint only	Endpoint + Cloud + Identity + Email
Compliance	Strong for least privilege & audit	Strong for incident detection logs	Strong for enterprise security posture
Dependency	Works standalone — the prevention layer	Needs preventive controls like EPM	Works best with identity + endpoint tools

At a glance — across the attack lifecycle

Stage	Iraje EPM	EDR / XDR

The core problem

"Too many users and applications running with local admin privileges."

The local administrator password is one of the most critical security elements in any enterprise it provides full control over the device. Yet endpoints are routinely left vulnerable.

Why endpoints get local admin rights

Applications historically required admin access to run
It was simply more convenient for IT support
Legacy software carried hard dependencies on admin rights

…and the risk it creates

Users install unauthorized and unmanaged software
Malware instantly inherits admin privileges
Security tools can be disabled; ransomware spreads rapidly

One compromised endpoint can quickly become an enterprise-wide incident.

How EPM Works?

Eight ways EPM secures every endpoint

By enforcing least privilege — giving users, applications and processes only the minimum access they need — EPM removes the conditions attackers depend on.

Removes standing admin rights

Strips permanent local admin privileges while users still complete authorized tasks.

Just-in-Time elevation

Monitors endpoint processes, files and memory for suspicious activity, then reacts.

Controls application elevation

Lets specific apps run elevated without ever making the user a local admin.

Stops malware escalation

Blocks the unauthorized privilege elevation malware needs to disable AV and encrypt files.

Application control & allowlisting

Trusted-application policies block unknown executables, scripts and shadow IT tools.

Reduces ransomware risk

Ransomware relies on privileged access — EPM removes rights and blocks elevation attempts.

Visibility & auditability

Records who requested elevation, which apps ran elevated, when, and what was done.

Improves compliance posture

Helps meet PCI-DSS, ISO 27001, NIST, CIS Benchmarks, RBI and CERT-In requirements.
