The Linux Privilege Gap - Beyond Sudo: The Missing Controls for Least Privilege

Linux sits at the center of critical infrastructure, cloud workloads, and business operations. While many organizations still lean heavily on sudo to get by with managing Linux privileges, it was never designed to deliver the governance, auditing, and least-privilege controls modern enterprises require.

This guide provides a deep dive into the state of sudo in modern enterprise Linux, including:

• Sudo capabilities and limitations, such as the structural ceiling of current sudo implementations

• Today’s identity security maturity gap in Linux privilege management

• Guidelines for measuring Linux privilege maturity

• Actionable recommendations by role

Deploying EPM for Linux with Pathfinder

“Hello, I am new to EPM - I have just watched the Administrator BTU videos. I am deploying demo environment: 3 ubuntu VMs in cloudshare that I need to manage from Pathfinder. The Pathfinder interface looks way different to the one shown in the BTU materials.

Since now, I installed&activated epml client packages at the cloudshare VMs (which is nicely covered in the documentation). I do not know yet how to scan for them from the Pathfinder interface.

Could you point me to the proper source explaining how to proceed? Is there any guide available for Pathfinder?..”
