Generated from the text of customer reviews

CyberFOX AutoElevate is a privileged access management tool that removes permanent admin rights from company laptops and replaces them with temporary, self-destructing permissions. While it does not support Linux servers, the platform proactively blocks over 200 native Windows applications, binaries, and DLL files commonly exploited in LOTL attacks. Recently, CyberFOX launched a beta Partner API for connecting AutoElevate to third-party tools.

Our Verdict

CyberFOX AutoElevate is a strong fit for MSPs and IT teams that need to remove permanent admin rights, particularly where cyber insurance requirements make this a priority. Its endpoint-based pricing requires a direct quote, which can make initial budgeting harder for smaller MSPs. We recommend it for organizations with strict admin rights or cyber insurance requirements.

What Is CyberFOX AutoElevate?

CyberFOX AutoElevate is a privileged access management solution designed for MSPs and internal IT teams. It helps organizations remove standing local administrator rights while allowing users to request elevated access when a trusted application or task requires it.

AutoElevate monitors privilege activity and User Account Control (UAC) events across managed endpoints. IT administrators can approve or deny elevation requests remotely, create automated rules for frequently used applications, and apply policies at the organization, department user, or device level.

The platform also provides application elevation, privilege auditing, configurable approval workflows, blocking controls, activity logging, and passwordless just-in-time administrator access. It integrates with professional services automation (PSA) and remote monitoring and management (RMM) platforms to support existing IT workflows.

What Is CyberFOX AutoElevate Best For?

CyberFOX AutoElevate is best known for ‘Just-In-Time' (JIT) privilege elevation, which gives users temporary administrative access when they need to complete an approved task without granting permanent local administrator rights. IT teams can review elevation requests, approve or deny them remotely, and create rules for applications that regularly require elevated privileges.

This is crucial for compliance officers and business owners because major insurance companies now refuse to issue or renew cyber policies if computers have permanent admin rights. This feature gives them the exact, automated proof they need to pass their security audits and lower their insurance costs.

How Much Does CyberFOX AutoElevate Cost?

CyberFOX AutoElevate does not publicly list its pricing on the official website. The vendor uses custom pricing based on your organization's endpoint count and deployment needs. It also offers 14-days free trial to test the platform first before committing.

Users on Reddit note that AutoElevate's licensing minimums have risen over time, which can be difficult for smaller MSPs needing lower quantities. Some users mention competitor pricing feels more accessible by comparison, though others have negotiated smaller custom plans directly with the vendor when the standard minimums did not fit their needs.

CyberFOX AutoElevate Use Cases

Based on our analysis of CyberFOX AutoElevate’s features, platform capabilities, and marketing positioning, we have identified key scenarios where this software is a strong fit:

MSPs Onboarding New Clients Without Disrupting Their Workflow

MSPs taking over endpoint management may need to remove local administrator rights without immediately disrupting employees who rely on administrative access for approved applications. AutoElevate can monitor privilege activity, identify applications generating elevation requests, and let technicians create rules for trusted applications. MSPs can then apply privilege controls while allowing approved tasks to continue without granting users permanent administrator rights.

Businesses Meeting Cyber Insurance Requirements Without Blocking Employees

Modern cyber insurance policies and security frameworks (like CIS Controls or HIPAA) require companies to strip 'Local Administrator' rights from all employee computers to prevent malware from spreading. However, doing this creates a massive operational headache. The moment administrator rights are removed, standard employees get locked out of basic, necessary tasks, resulting in a flood of urgent IT support tickets that stall daily business operations.

The software temporarily upgrades a standard employee's permissions just long enough to complete a verified, safe task. This satisfies insurance auditors by keeping a locked-down environment while allowing employees to work without interruption.

Remote Employees Needing New Hardware Set Up Without IT On-Site

Remote employees working from home frequently need to connect new personal hardware, like a home office printer, a desktop scanner, or local Wi-Fi peripherals. Because installing these devices requires deep operating system changes, a security prompt locks the screen. Since the employee is isolated at home, getting an IT technician to securely connect, remote into the machine, and type a master password creates long delays that keep the remote worker offline for hours.

The software routes local installation prompts straight to the IT team's smartphone app as push notifications. A technician can instantly review and authorize the driver installation over the internet often in seconds, without sharing passwords.

IT Teams Containing Ransomware Before It Spreads Company-Wide

Sometimes office employees accidentally click on a malicious link that downloads a hidden ransomware file. If that employee has permanent administrator rights, the malware will instantly execute, infect the operating system, and begin quietly encrypting the entire company's files before anyone notices a problem. Because the software strips local administrative rights, the downloaded malware is trapped. The moment the file tries to modify the operating system registry, the software freezes the execution, isolates the threat, and alerts the security team.

Field Technicians Repairing Devices Without Sharing Master Passwords

When an IT engineer physically walks up to an employee’s desk to perform deep troubleshooting or system repairs, they usually have to log in as an administrator. Typically, this means typing a powerful corporate master password right onto the user's keyboard. This is a dangerous security risk, as the employee could memorize the password, or hidden keylogger malware on a compromised machine could record the master credentials.

The software allows the technician to generate a secure, temporary QR code right on the employee's monitor. The technician scans it using their mobile app, and the software instantly creates a temporary, single-use administrator session for that repair, then completely deletes the account upon logout.

Is CyberFOX AutoElevate Right For You?

CyberFOX AutoElevate is a perfect fit for MSPs and internal IT teams that need to eliminate risky employee accounts with local admin permissions to satisfy cyber insurance or compliance rules. It is purpose-built to intercept privilege prompts on Windows and macOS. So, if your infrastructure relies heavily on Linux servers, Chromebooks, or mobile devices (iOS/Android), you will not get the full utility of the platform.

It holds a formal SOC 2 Type II certification and an official TX-RAMP Level 2 certification and follows global GDPR and ISO frameworks. For a buyer, these credentials mean your legal team can immediately approve the software without making you fill out long security questionnaires. It also legally allows you to bid on lucrative government or school district contracts, protects your business from severe data privacy fines, and lets you instantly pull timestamped reports to prove to cyber insurance auditors that your computers are safe and locked down.

CyberFOX AutoElevate Features

Blocker

It has a specialized blocklisting engine that maintains a regularly updated list of known attack vectors. It actively targets and blocks over 40 native Microsoft threats and more than 180 Living-off-the-Land (LOTL) threat vectors (like hijacked command prompts or script execution tools) rarely used by normal employees. It also includes a recommendation engine to help IT easily create rules for what should be blocked.

See How It Works

Just-In-Time Admin

This feature allows IT to create a temporary, passwordless administrator account when a technical task needs to be performed. Technicians log in using the CyberFOX AutoElevate MFA-enabled mobile app without ever knowing, typing, or storing an actual local password. Technicians can securely log into a machine on the fly, and auditors get absolute proof that no permanent backdoor passwords are left active on company laptops.

See How It Works

PAM Automation (Robust Rules For PAM Automation)

It allows IT teams to build specific rules based on Windows User Account Control (UAC) prompt history. Technicians can review an application elevation request and decide whether to approve or deny it as a one-time occurrence or turn it into an ongoing, automatic rule for the entire organization. IT helpdesk technicians only have to evaluate and approve an application update (like QuickBooks or Adobe) once, instead of fielding repeated tickets from different users for the same software.

See How It Works

Automatic PSA Time Entries

Built specifically for IT business workflows, this feature automatically logs the exact amount of time a technician spends handling an elevation request and syncs it directly with the organization's professional services automation (PSA) software. It ensures that every second of remote support work is automatically tracked for client billing and technician productivity metrics without requiring manual timesheets.

See How It Works

Detailed Ticketing

Whenever an employee encounters a password prompt or requests access, AutoElevate automatically generates a highly detailed IT support ticket. This ticket captures the exact request, the person making it, their machine ID, and the final outcome. That eliminates the need for technicians to manually log support tickets for software approvals, ensuring an accurate history of activities on each computer.

See How It Works

Remote Management

This feature bridges the gap between office computers and mobile devices. Whenever an unapproved action occurs on a computer, the software sends a push notification to the IT team's smartphone apps (iOS/Android). Technicians can review and respond to these privilege requests in real time from anywhere in the world.

“lacks in some areas”

Pros

What makes AutoElevate great is how simple it is as it either allows something or it does not.

Cons

The downside is that application whitelisting often involves a lot of gray area and when we were using it, it didn't offer many capabilities beyond basic whitelisting and blacklisting.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to common questions to help you better understand the product, features, and services.

What is a Privileged Access Management tool?

A Privileged Access Management (PAM) tool is a crucial cybersecurity solution that helps organizations protect sensitive data and prevent unauthorized access to critical systems. It provides a centralized platform to control and monitor privileged accounts and their activities. With a PAM tool, businesses can enforce granular access controls, track privileged user sessions, and enforce strong authentication methods, ensuring the security and integrity of their digital assets.

How does CyberFOX's PAM tool enhance security practices for MSPs and I

MSPs and IT professionals need a PAM tool because it provides an extra layer of security for privileged accounts, helps enforce the Principle of Least Privilege, and ensures compliance with industry regulations. It also streamlines privilege elevation, centralizes control and monitoring of admin accounts, and protects against credential theft, allowing businesses to ensure robust cybersecurity measures.

How does CyberFOX's PAM Solution work?

The software leverages Windows UAC (User Access Control) events to prompt for privilege elevation, ensuring safe and secure access through Windows UAC. This functionality enables the tool to provide Administrator credentials when requested by Windows. With our unique approach, there is no longer a need for permanently active local admin accounts, minimizing potential vulnerabilities.

Is your PAM Solution difficult to implement?

No. We’ve made it super easy to deploy across your IT ecosystem in just a few minutes with pre-written scripts for remote monitoring and management platforms. Once deployed simply audit the privileged events, create rules and you’re ready to remove admin privileges.

How does pricing work?

Our PAM solution pricing is all-inclusive, with no additional fees. We offer flexible contracts, and our pricing model is based on the number of endpoints managed.

What is the Principle of Least Privilege?

The principle of least privilege means users and applications are granted only the rights and authorizations required for the task at hand.

Will removing admin rights bury my helpdesk in tickets?

No — that is what the rule engine is for. Teams start in audit mode to see real elevation activity, convert recurring approvals into automatic rules, and handle the remainder as one-tap mobile approvals. Request volume falls as the rule set matures.

How long does deployment take?

Agents deploy in minutes per environment using pre-built scripts for the major RMM platforms, GPO, or Intune, and are auto-organized to match the client and location structure already in the RMM. Full rollout typically runs 10 to 50 days depending on the size of the commitment.
