Abstract: A method is described. The method includes adding privileges using discrete modular steps to an account based on a requested activity to be performed during a session. The method also includes logging the account into the session with the added privileges. The method further includes removing the privileges using discrete modular steps from the account after the session.
Abstract: In one aspect, a computerized system includes an access manager server connected to one or more target computer systems. The access manager server is connected to the one or more target computer systems via an Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) system. The EDR system continually monitors one or more target computer systems (e.g. endpoints) and responds to mitigate a cyber threat to the one or more target computer systems. The EDR system includes an EDR control plane that manages and communicates with one or more EDR agents. The EDR control plane causes a specific computer security action in the one or more target computer systems via one or more EDR agents. One or more EDR agents are installed in the one or more target computer systems. The one or more EDR agents are made available via the EDR API.
