Beyond Trust
Last one year I am working on tool called Beyond Trust. Beyond Trust is basically a tool make sure none of our users should have administrative privileges on their computer in return we save number of virus calls for service desk/help desk, non-standard applications related problem. (User is no more empowered to install any application from Internet to their box).
You must be having question how we handle applications which need Administrative Right to get it executed or get it going. '
Yes that’s the question we also came across to avoid such issues we started creating Beyond Trust Exception rules which means those particular applications will only run in evalution instead user get entire admin privileges.
Beyond Trust- We normally publish Beyond Trust Power Broker tool in user’s computer which does all the magic for limiting users from being administrative privileges on their id locally on their workstation.
Polmon Logs: Polmon.exe (Policy Monitor) Tool help you understand what is happening in particular computer, where it needs admin privileges, does it blocks the ActiveX.
There are number of types of rules can be made in Beyond Trust and following are the important once which we should understand. These are few rules to start with.
1) Path Rule: Here you can specify which .Exe you want to be run in Admin privilege along with path.
2) Folder Rule: There is thin line between path rule & folder rule both works same but basic difference is whatever you specify in particular folder & its sub folder will run in admin privileges.
Sometime few applications comes with their executable you make a path rule for those & afterwards you come to know that it’s not working because primary rule is calling several other executable in these scenario we should create a folder rule.
Sometime certain application comes up with frequent upgrades like every month. In this case also you can create a secure folder and make a folder path. User just needs to copy executable in particular folder & run the executable which will solve their purpose & can be save number of calls to Service Desk/Help Desk.
3) Active X Rule: Today’s Complex world we all know no company wants to take risk in terms of security or Virus. That’s why our Beyond Trust block all the ActiveX which are try to get install. If your business returns back to you with Source Link, Control, and Classid & Version you can make a BT allow rule to get that working. You must be thinking how user can get above information.
That’s magic Beyond Trust show all those details in the Error Screen which user needs to pass to the beyond Trust Admin.
4) Hash Rule: A hash rule target a specific application regardless of its location so that you can modify its permissions or privileges when it is run.
Thanks,
