Privileged access management
Administrative Workstation
An Administrative Workstation is a hardened workstation dedicated to privileged operations and isolated from standard user activity.
Definition
An Administrative Workstation is a controlled endpoint reserved for technical administration tasks. It is designed to reduce exposure by separating privileged activity from ordinary browsing, email, internet access, and day-to-day user risk, especially in high-sensitivity environments.
The Ariovis perspective
Privileged security should begin by reducing standing privilege, governing accounts and automating grants and revocations. Vaults, bastions and session controls are reserved for the use cases that genuinely need them.
