IT personnel cannot effectively manage their infrastructure without admin-level access. But with gaining this access comes great responsibility. Most companies do not effectively allocate their resources or implement enough technology tools to prevent information security risks. Often enough the response to countless regulations is to concentrate on building controls against external and internal business users, […]
