Understanding Least Privilege Access

Least Privilege Access is a cybersecurity principle that restricts users' access rights to only the minimum level necessary to perform their job functions. This approach helps minimize the risk of unauthorized access to sensitive data or critical systems, reducing the potential impact of insider threats and external attacks. By implementing least privilege access, organizations can enhance their security posture and protect against data breaches and other cybersecurity incidents.
