Fully monitor privileged user activity<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Forget about partial privileged access monitoring.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"\/en\/product\/user-activity-monitoring\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">User activity monitoring<\/a> is resource-intensive. You need to collect large amounts of data, transfer it from monitored endpoints to a server or cloud, and store it. And the more users you need to watch over, the more resources you use. For this reason, many organizations choose partial monitoring to keep an eye only on specific types of data, systems, events, and activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, halfway measures are a poor choice when it comes to privileged account activity management. As privileged users may have permanent and near-unlimited access to the most important parts of your corporate network, consider taking <a href=\"\/en\/solutions\/privileged-user-monitoring\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">privileged user activity auditing<\/a> seriously and watch every action of the users with elevated access.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When given a choice, go for a solution that records data in light formats, including screenshots or video recordings. The ability to search such records will also be a big plus.&nbsp;Understanding <a href=\"\/en\/blog\/privileged-session-management\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">how privileged session management works<\/a> can help you evaluate which solutions provide the right level of oversight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p-read-also\"><a class=\"read-also\" href=\"\/en\/blog\/inadvertent-privileged-user-mistakes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Top 5 Inadvertent Mistakes of Privileged Users and How to Prevent Them<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Limit privileges<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Say \u201cno\u201d to unlimited privileges.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maintaining a sufficient level of privileged user monitoring can be rather challenging. The fewer privileged users are in your organization and the fewer privileges they possess, the easier it is to monitor them appropriately.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cyber attackers often target privileged users, as these types of accounts hold the keys to valuable information. And with unlimited privileges, malicious insiders might change system logs to conceal their crimes. Therefore, consider implementing a privileged access management (PAM) process as part of a mature <a href=\"\/en\/blog\/agile-iam-strategy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">IAM strategy<\/a>. You can leverage a dedicated <a href=\"\/en\/product\/privileged-access-management\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">PAM solution<\/a> to limit privileges only to a narrow circle of employees and only for a limited period of time, while keeping a close eye on each of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"825\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/www.syteca.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/figure-4-Top-10-Best-Practices-for-Privileged-User-Monitoring.png\" alt=\"Practical ways to limit priveleges\" class=\"wp-image-23672\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.syteca.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/figure-4-Top-10-Best-Practices-for-Privileged-User-Monitoring.png 825w, https:\/\/www.syteca.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/figure-4-Top-10-Best-Practices-for-Privileged-User-Monitoring-300x194.png 300w, https:\/\/www.syteca.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/figure-4-Top-10-Best-Practices-for-Privileged-User-Monitoring-768x496.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 825px) 100vw, 825px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>There are several approaches you can implement to limit user privileges: <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Principle_of_least_privilege\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the principle of least privilege<\/a>, <a href=\"\/en\/blog\/zero-trust-security-model\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a zero trust architecture<\/a>, <a href=\"\/en\/blog\/just-in-time-approach-to-privileged-access-management\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">just-in-time PAM<\/a>, and others. For example, a practical <a href=\"\/en\/blog\/the-principle-of-least-privilege\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">principle of least privilege example<\/a> would be granting a database administrator temporary access only to the specific database required for a task, rather than full access to all production systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When evaluating these approaches, knowing <a href=\"\/en\/blog\/how-to-choose-pam\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">how to choose a PAM solution<\/a> ensures you pick a platform that supports the relevant capabilities for your cybersecurity needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p-read-also\"><a class=\"read-also\" href=\"\/en\/blog\/just-in-time-approach-to-privileged-access-management\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Why Do You Need a Just-in-Time PAM Approach?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Obtain full visibility of all admin accounts&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Get rid of shadow admins.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Privileged users can often assign the same (or lower) privileges to other users. However, assigning privileges in this way is not always properly monitored and managed. Accounts that have the same access permissions as admins but aren\u2019t included in monitored admin groups (e.g. domain admins) are usually called shadow admins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"\/en\/blog\/top-5-poor-privileged-account-management-practices\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Poorly monitored and managed accounts<\/a> with admin access rights <a href=\"\/en\/blog\/database-admin-protection\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">pose a significant threat<\/a>. <a href=\"https:\/\/gurucul.com\/2023-insider-threat-report\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2023 Insider Threat Report by Gurucul<\/a> reveals that 54% of insiders had credentialed access to the network and services. That&#8217;s why privileged account monitoring is of utmost importance. You should achieve full visibility over all privileged accounts to ensure the highest level of cybersecurity within your organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s crucial not only to pay attention to the activity of privileged accounts but also to their creation and deletion. Look for solutions that can perform <a href=\"\/en\/product\/privileged-account-discovery\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">account discovery<\/a> and find all privileged accounts within your network. Once you\u2019ve discovered all privileged accounts, perform reviews to delete unused accounts and avoid privilege creep. It&#8217;s an effective practice to make the <a href=\"\/en\/blog\/user-access-review\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">user access review checklist<\/a> and regularly follow all the steps to make sure you don&#8217;t miss a thing. Also, we reccomend you to configure all privileged accounts in a way that makes delegating user privileges or creating new shadow admins impossible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p-read-also\"><a class=\"read-also\" href=\"\/en\/blog\/database-admin-protection\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">How to Protect an Enterprise Database from Privilege Abuse<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Closely monitor the USB devices connected to your network<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Track the use of USB devices by privileged users.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A malicious insider may use a USB drive as a tool for leaking and compromising sensitive data, stealing your company&#8217;s intellectual property, or carrying out a pre-programmed attack strategy. Privileged users can cause even greater harm if they misuse USB devices and bypass security controls. To ensure the utmost protection of your organization\u2019s data files, it is vital to monitor all the USB devices plugged into your network, especially those used by privileged users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may want to consider deploying <a href=\"\/en\/product\/usb-blocking\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">USB device monitoring tools<\/a> to allow you to get alerts each time a suspicious USB device is plugged in, approve or prohibit certain types of USB devices, and continuously monitor all USB device connections.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p-read-also\"><a class=\"read-also\" href=\"\/en\/blog\/protection-against-infected-usb-devices\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">How Can Syteca Protect You against Infected USB Devices?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Use secondary authentication for shared accounts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Pay very close attention to shared privileged accounts.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some companies use shared privileged accounts to simplify their administration workflow, thereby inadvertently introducing cybersecurity risks into their IT infrastructures.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite being convenient, shared accounts hinder the process of user activity monitoring and auditing. It\u2019s hard to differentiate the actions of one user from another without using specific tools.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Leveraging <a href=\"\/en\/two-factor-authentication-tool\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">secondary user authentication<\/a> as an additional security measure can help you clearly distinguish the activity of all shared account users while monitoring and auditing their activity.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p-read-also\"><a class=\"read-also\" href=\"\/en\/blog\/top-5-poor-privileged-account-management-practices\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">8 Poor Privileged Account Management Practices and How to Improve Them<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6.

The more remote workers in your company, the more related security concerns may arise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Organizations provide different groups of users with remote access to their data: regular employees, part-time workers, and subcontractors. And if these users have access to any kind of sensitive information in your network, consider implementing a <a href=\"\/en\/product\/supported-platforms\/windows-monitoring\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">remote desktop monitoring software<\/a> to keep them closely monitored.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For privileged users, you should also monitor and <a href=\"\/en\/product\/supported-platforms\/windows-monitoring\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">record remote desktop protocol (RDP) sessions<\/a> in the same way as local sessions. Additionally, you may consider setting strict rules, specifying which systems and data remote logins are permitted and creating whitelists of IP or MAC addresses.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p-read-also\"><a class=\"read-also\" href=\"\/en\/blog\/remote-employee-monitoring\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Remote Employee Monitoring: How to Make Remote Work Effective and Secure<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Make logs and records immutable<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Prevent logs and records from being modified.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on their permissions level, privileged users might be able to alter or delete various logs and records. At the network level, this concern can be addressed by providing unrestricted access to system logs only to a <a href=\"\/en\/blog\/rbac-vs-abac\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">specific role<\/a> or to a strictly limited group of users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When choosing <a href=\"\/en\/product\/user-activity-monitoring\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">user activity monitoring software<\/a>, it&#8217;s important to pick one in which modifying logs or reports is prevented by default.
