You could have the fanciest EDR and zero-day scanner, but if your users are running with admin rights “just because,” you’re practically begging to get wrecked.

Least privilege isn’t just a good practice — it’s survival. Every time you give unnecessary permissions, you’re handing an attacker a shortcut to privilege escalation, lateral movement, and domain domination.

Real talk:
No one needs local admin to check email. Lock it down. Harden your endpoints. Segregate access. Use PAM. Monitor everything.

It’s not flashy, but it’s lethal when ignored. Stay sharp.
