Stronger Security Starts with Zero Trust

Zero Trust Access Management

CyberQP makes Zero Trust simple and effective. Our platform verifies every access request and enforces least privilege access, so users only get what they need, when they need it, nothing more.

With built-in tools like QGuard for secure, time-limited technician access and QDesk for smart end-user privilege management, CyberQP helps you reduce risk, stop ransomware, and block credential-based attacks before they start.

About this Webinar

Traditional cybersecurity tools are built to protect networks, endpoints, and data. But what about the humans behind the screens? In this session, we’ll explore how identity focused threats like social engineering and helpdesk impersonation attacks bypass traditional defenses and why protecting Layer 8 (the user) is critical to a Zero Trust strategy.

Where Access Is Granted, Security Must Be Enforced.

Healthcare breaches don’t start with networks, they start with identity. In hospitals and healthcare environments, every login, password reset, and privilege elevation can put ePHI at risk. This eBook explores how identity-first access controls help IT teams enforce least privilege, verify users at the point of access, and maintain audit-ready compliance with HIPAA requirements.

How Privileged Access and Identity Controls Map to HIPAA Requirements

HIPAA compliance isn’t just about implementing security controls, it’s about clearly demonstrating how access to ePHI is governed, verified, and audited. This resource maps HIPAA Security Rule requirements directly to CyberQP capabilities and shows exactly how controls are enforced across healthcare environments.

Instead of relying on assumptions or fragmented documentation, you gain clear, audit-ready visibility into which HIPAA controls CyberQP supports. The result is faster audits and greater confidence when protecting patient data.

How CyberQP Enforces and Audits Privileged Access

Privileged Account Just-in-Time (JIT) Access

Control area: §164.312(b) Audit Controls

CyberQP’s JIT access enforces temporary, context-based privilege elevation so users and technicians don’t retain standing administrative rights. All JIT sessions are logged and auditable, helping satisfy audit control requirements around monitoring and examining system activity.

Just in time access

Passwordless MFA for Technicians

Control area: §164.308(a)(5)(ii)(C) Log-in Monitoring, §164.312(a)(2)(iii) Automatic Logoff

CyberQP enables passwordless authentication and session tracking for technicians and privileged users. This improves log-in monitoring and auditing, while automatic session termination and authentication events align with controls around termination of inactive sessions.

Activate JIT

Self-Service Password Reset (SSPR)

Control area: §164.308(a)(5)(ii)(D) Password Management

CyberQP’s self-service password reset workflows are tied to identity assurance, reducing helpdesk risk, and enabling compliant password lifecycle processes.

    Local Admin & UAC Remediation in Agents | CyberQP Product Release

    Local Admin & UAC Remediation in Agents | CyberQP Product Release

    Local administrator sprawl remains one of the most persistent risks across endpoint environments. Excessive privileges, inconsistent User Account Control (UAC) settings, and manual remediation workflows make it difficult for IT teams to confidently prepare systems for privileged access controls.

    To address this challenge, we’re excited to introduce Local Admin & UAC Remediation, a new capability within CyberQP’s Agents Overview. This feature gives administrators instant visibility into endpoint privilege risk and the tools to remediate it quickly without scripts, RMM dependencies, or multi-step workflows.

    Reduce Endpoint Risk Before Privilege Is Granted

    Local Admin & UAC Remediation is designed to help teams clean up environments before privileged access elevation is rolled out. By identifying and removing unnecessary admin rights and standardizing UAC configurations, administrators can harden endpoints and eliminate common blockers to Privileged Access Management (PAM) adoption.

    All discovery and remediation actions are performed directly within CyberQP, allowing teams to move from insight to action in minutes instead of days.

    How Local Admin & UAC Risk Changes with CyberQP

    Before CyberQP Remediation

    • Local admin users discovered manually
    • Separate scripts required to identify and remove admin rights
    • Limited visibility into which users or systems are at risk
    • UAC settings inconsistent or misconfigured across devices and customers
    • Time-consuming, error-prone remediation, especially at scale
    • Privileged access rollout delayed due to unprepared environments

    After CyberQP Remediation

    • Instant visibility into local admin users per agented system
    • One-click or bulk removal of unnecessary admin privileges
    • Built-in exclusions for break-glass and required admin accounts
    • Centralized view and management of UAC settings
    • Bulk UAC updates across multiple devices in seconds
    • Faster, cleaner readiness for privileged access elevation

    The Result: Unnecessary local admin rights significantly increase security risk and create challenges when rolling out privileged access controls. This new remediation workflow allows teams to harden environments quickly, consistently, and at scale—laying the groundwork for successful Privileged Access Management (PAM) adoption even in the most challenging environments. 

    When combined with Audit Mode, administrators can confidently identify risk, remediate access, and move forward with elevation policies knowing endpoints are properly prepared and users are not left scrambling.

    Real Zero Trust Starts with Identity

    Zero Trust can’t succeed without strong identity controls at the point where access is granted. In this eBook, you’ll learn why identity has become the primary attack surface, and how enforcing verification combined with least privilege at the endpoint changes the security equation. Explore a practical, identity-first approach to Zero Trust that helps IT teams reduce risk.
    MSP Incident Insights

    A Secured End-User Elevation Workflow

    A secure end-user elevation workflow treats privilege as a controlled, identity-verified process, not a standing entitlement. Every elevation request begins with identity confirmation, ensuring the person requesting access is who they claim to be before any privilege is granted. Access is scoped to a single task or time sensitive process, and is automatically revoked when the job is complete. Eliminating persistent admin rights on the endpoint.

    Each action is logged and tied back to a verified identity, creating a complete audit trail for compliance investigations and insurance reviews. By enforcing least privilege at the moment access is needed, you can reduce lateral movement risk while maintaining technician efficiency.

    The Security Gap Most Organizations Haven’t Closed

    Unmanaged Systems Are the Easiest Way In

    Attackers target what organizations can’t see or control. Unmanaged endpoints and accounts create blind spots that bypass security policies entirely. This makes identity-based attacks faster, quieter, and more effective.

    Your Security Maturity Isn’t Where It Should Be

    Most organizations believe they’re protected, but gaps in identity governance, access controls, and enforcement tell a different story. Without consistent verification, security frameworks fall short where it matters most: End User Access Management.
