Following a March 2026 cyberattack on Stryker Corporation where attackers compromised a Microsoft Intune administrator account to wipe managed devices, CISA issued an advisory urging organizations to enforce least privilege, phishing-resistant MFA, multi-admin approval, and tighter role governance. The post argues that endpoint management platforms have become critical attack surfaces and advocates for session-level Privileged Access Management (PAM) that brokers every privileged session, vaults credentials, enforces approval workflows, and provides full session monitoring to support a Zero Trust model.
