Exceptions = Compromise.... Trust Nothing, Verify Everything
Give Admin Access Without Giving Away Control

Elevation Control That Keeps Privileges in Check

Most users don’t need admin rights all the time. MZT’s Elevation Control allows temporary, auditable elevation of privileges so users can do their jobs without introducing unnecessary risk. No need to share local admin passwords or create permanent exceptions.

Just-in-Time Elevation

Grant elevated rights for specific actions or time windows, then automatically revoke them, no manual cleanup required.

Approval Workflows

Let users request elevated access through a secure, trackable process with admin approval before privileges are granted.

Full Audit Logging

Every elevation request, approval, and action taken is logged and accessible for compliance and incident reviews.

Granular Controls, Smarter Security

5 Key Features of Elevation Control.

Policy-Based Access Rules
Define who can elevate, for what applications, on which devices; all based on user roles or endpoint groups.
Application-Specific Elevation
Limit elevation to specific executables rather than granting full admin rights, reducing the risk of abuse.
Time-Limited Access
Automatically expire elevation after a defined period to prevent lingering privileges.
No Password Sharing Required
Avoid handing out local admin credentials by granting temporary access via policy or approval.
Emergency Elevation Mode
Allow for break-glass scenarios where immediate elevation is required with full tracking and rollback capability.

Privilege Misuse is a Top Attack Vector

Why Elevation Control Matters

Credential Abuse

81% of breaches involve compromised credentials or privilege abuse.

Remove Target

Standing admin rights are a prime target for ransomware and insider threats.

As Needed Approach

MZT reduces attack surface by eliminating always-on privilege elevation.

Trust Nothing, Elevate Intentionally

How Elevation Fits Into Zero Trust

Zero Trust Principle

Zero Trust means least privilege; Elevation Control enforces this principle at scale.

Layered Security

Combines seamlessly with Application Control and Ringfencing to keep elevated apps contained.

Reduce Ticket Count

Reduces helpdesk tickets for approved software installs by allowing safe, limited self-service elevation.

Frequently Asked Questions

This is where all the answers to your questions are.

Can users elevate privileges without IT approval?

Only if policy allows it. You can configure Elevation Control to require admin approval or allow self-elevation with strict limits.

Does MZT require local admin accounts?

No. MZT replaces the need for local admin access with controlled elevation, removing the need to share or maintain admin credentials.

Can I allow elevation for specific apps only?

Yes. Elevation can be tied to specific executables, file paths, or application types to minimize unnecessary access.

Is activity during elevation tracked?

Yes. Every action taken during an elevated session is logged, including what was run, by whom, and for how long.

What happens if a user tries to elevate something that’s not allowed?

The request will be blocked automatically and optionally logged or flagged for review.

Can I use Elevation Control with other MZT features?

Absolutely. Elevation works best when paired with Application Allowlisting and Ringfencing to fully control what users can run; even when elevated.
