THE PROBLEM WITH SUDO: IS YOUR SUDOERS FILE TOO BIG?
A large company’s sudoers file can become overly complex, averaging 1.16 MB in size and 11 years old, with 16,500 lines, 1,500 user aliases, 1,500 host aliases, 1,600 command aliases, and more than 5,000 wildcards. Such complexity reduces readability, usability, and scalability, making it difficult to enforce least privilege effectively. CyberArk highlights that while sudoers struggles with clarity and manageability, its Endpoint Privilege Manager for Linux provides a centralized way to manage sudo and enforce least privilege policies at scale, improving readability, usability, and scalability across servers and workstations.
