BeyondTrust, the worldwide leader in Privileged Access Management, today announced the release of its Microsoft Vulnerabilities Report. The research provides the latest insight into security vulnerabilities facing organisations today, as well as a five-year trends analysis to better equip organisations to increase their IT security posture and keep networks and systems safe.

Further analysis indicates that, over the last five years, nearly 88 percent of all Critical Vulnerabilities published by Microsoft could have been mitigated by security teams removing admin rights from users.
"While organisations need to continue to focus on the security basics, the ability to remove admin rights and control applications is no longer difficult to achieve, and least privilege should be considered as part of a proactive security strategy."
