What is Least Functionality?

Understanding Least Functionality

Least functionality is a security principle that restricts systems and devices to only the minimum necessary functions needed to perform their intended purpose. This approach helps reduce the attack surface and minimize vulnerabilities that could be exploited by malicious actors. By limiting unnecessary features and services, organizations can improve the overall security posture of their systems and better protect against potential threats.
