The Complete Guide to Securing Your Helpdesk with Zero Trust

Protect your business where it matters most: at the frontline of IT support.

Helpdesks have become a top target for cyberattacks, with impersonation, phishing, and social engineering threats on the rise. This guide shows you how to lock down helpdesk operations with a practical, zero-trust approach.

In this eBook, you’ll learn:

  • Why helpdesks are high-value targets for attackers
  • The critical vulnerabilities traditional helpdesks face
  • How Zero Trust principles can eliminate standing privileges and reduce attack surfaces through JIT Access Management
  • Steps to transition your helpdesk into a secure, efficient, Zero Trust environment
  • Key technologies that streamline identity verification, access control, and compliance.

A Zero Trust Helpdesk Security Platform

Zero Trust is a cybersecurity framework that requires verification at every access point. Our platform enforces least privilege access, ensuring users only have the access they need when they need it. With CyberQP, you can reduce attack surfaces, prevent ransomware, and mitigate credential theft.

CyberQP’s Zero Trust approach eliminates standing privileges by offering secure, time-limited technician access through QGuard’s Just-in-Time Access Management and precise end-user elevation management with QDesk.

Zero Trust Access Management

QGuard provides a comprehensive Privileged Access Management (PAM) platform designed to eliminate standing privileges and reduce attack surfaces and streamline access. Technicians are granted just-in-time access without the need for standing privilege and credentials for necessary break glass or shared accounts are automatically rotated to prevent static credentials.

Secure your privileged accounts with confidence using QGuard.

QDesk streamlines end-user elevation, identity verification, password resets, and JIT Admin account management into one powerful platform. Eliminate standing privileges, verify identities instantly, and empower users to resolve issues on their own, while IT handles account tasks effortlessly within their ticketing system. 

QDesk provides secure, efficient, and compliant end-user access management.

Why Privileged Access Matters More Than Ever

Privileged accounts give attackers elevated access to sensitive systems, and when technicians hold the keys to many environments, they become high-value targets. “Privileged accounts are a crucial stage in modern attack chains,” and can be the foothold threat actors use to move laterally and exfiltrate data.

      How the CyberQP Platform Follows Least Privileges

      MSP Statistics

      Credential Stuffing Attacks

      When a threat actor launches a credential stuffing attack, MSPs can use QGuard Pro to reduce or eliminate the amount of time a privileged account is vulnerable for, with rotating credentials, Just-in-Time access, and Passwordless MFA logins.

      Malware and Ransomware

      Malware and ransomware variants frequently target Active Directory and privileged accounts. By limiting privileged access, QGuard Pro limits the amount of lateral movement a threat actor can potentially take during an incident.

      Insider Threats

       When a threat actor launches a credential stuffing attack, MSPs can use QGuard Pro to reduce or eliminate the amount of time a privileged account is vulnerable for, with rotating credentials, Just-in-Time access, and Passwordless MFA logins.

      How IT and Security Teams Can Build A PAM Strategy:

      CyberQP is prepared to help MSPs and help desks meet these cyber insurance requirements, prepare for discussions with cyber insurance providers, and have conversations about why their end users need to adopt proactive security measures. Using QGuard Pro, CyberQP Partners can issue unique Just-in-Time accounts per technician to replace persistent admin accounts and only offer privileged access when a technician needs it.

      MSP Statistics

      MSPs can also go one step further with Passwordless JIT Access for Technicians, which enables MSPs to secure their endpoints and servers by adding a dedicated MFA challenge and eliminating password interactions. Achieve a competitive edge in compliance management. Technicians can also use the CyberQP dashboard to enforce a culture of accountability with clean audit logs.

        Securing a Hybrid Work Environment

        As hybrid work and Work From Anywhere policies become the norm, SMBs are no longer solely reliant on a local pool of talent. With the ability to hire professionals from the global talent pool, MSPs and SMBs may end up working with people that they’ve never met in person. Moreover, as both an MSP and their clients grow, and as employees come and go, it can be difficult for your technicians to parse through which requests are legitimate

        Password reset tickets amount to 20-30% of all help desk support tickets and cost up to $75 per incident! The right password reset tool will put the power to get back online in an end user’s hands and use modern security measures (such as biometric authentication) to eliminate frustrating phone calls and deter impersonation attacks. Moreover, a self-service experience will enable MSPs to resolve password reset tickets ten times faster.
