Implementing Access Control
Principle of Least Privilege
- The principle of least privilege states a concept of security that advises granting users a minimum level of permissions and access to resources.
- By adhering to this principle, one can limit the risk of potentially compromised accounts and unauthorized access.
- This entails carefully defining and assigning permissions and access to users, roles, and groups depending on the task they are required to perform without providing any additional authorization over any resource.
