Add capability like Microsoft LAPS

Many MSPs use 3rd wall. Canaries with host isolation covers most of the value but adding this to the huntress toolset would remove the rest of the value that 3rd wall provides.

Accept Risk: Local Admin Password Solution (LAPS) for Windows is deployed for Entra

Joseph Monarch

We would like to see the Security Control: Local Admin Password Solution (LAPS) for Windows is deployed for Entra have the option to accept the risk. We use a different solution for LAPS. The biggest difference is it is not managed via Entra so we have the one in Entra turned off.

Hi Joseph, thank you for the feedback we will review.

This would be great! We 'could' do this with our RMM for 'broad' coverage (ie: works for onprem & cloud-only, mac & win, etc)... but our RMM would pass and store the cred in cleartext so I've avoided doing this.
Microsoft's 'cloud LAPS' through M365 is an option - but while most of our customers do use M365, some do not so its not a comprehensive solution.
The other 'nice' thing about something like this is that it could tie/extend to local account monitoring. With very very few exceptions, for our customers, a local account being created - esp. a local admin - is something we want vis on since its a rare occurrence AND we have a standardized naming scheme where exceptions would warrant investigation. This is something we already do thru RMM-based monitoring, but I'd love if it was a Huntress managed feature and data-point.

Local account management has been largely ignored as everyone is moving to the cloud. I have yet to meet a customer that does not want a managed local admin as an emergency authentication method to log into the OS. This would be an admin win.
