• Does an extremely good job of preventing problematic applications from either taking over or accessing information they shouldn't. Ringfencing prevents applications that have no need for lateral movement from doing so. Adopting a zero-trust methodology fixes a major security flaw in that it prevents problems before they start, for the minor inconvenience of getting unknown things approved first. Automated privilege escalation is one of the best features; if a user is installing an app that requires admin privileges, you can approve automatic escalation for a period of time for that installer and no credentials are needed to be passed to the user.
• The ease of use on implementation, and troubleshooting. Have more control over the environment without requiring a Team dedicated to reviewing logs and taking action.
