SAM Best Practices

SAM (Security Account Manager) best practices involve managing user access and credentials securely on Windows systems. This includes regularly updating passwords, using strong and unique passwords, minimizing user privileges to only what's necessary, enabling multi-factor authentication, and monitoring account activity for suspicious actions. Additionally, restricting access to the SAM database, keeping systems updated with security patches, and implementing proper backup and recovery procedures help prevent unauthorized access and protect sensitive account information. Following these practices helps maintain system integrity and reduces the risk of security breaches.
