The secure administrative workstation (SAW) is the answer to securing developers’ workstations. Developers often have total control of not only their local computer and many other computers and servers, but usually across multiple environments. Developers are often the specific targets of malicious hackers, and a compromise usually gives an attacker immediate elevated access to the most essential, mission-critical content in an enterprise. Traditional solutions for securing developers have persisted because developers need admin privileges only when they are needed. This failed approach failed because developers are updating source drivers, updating code and all the time.”]
