Understanding Least Privilege Enforcement

Least Privilege Enforcement is the security principle where users are only provided with the minimum level of access and permissions necessary to perform their job functions and tasks. This approach aims to limit the potential impact of a security breach or unauthorized access by restricting user privileges to only what is essential for their role, thus reducing the overall attack surface and mitigating the risk of malicious actions or data breaches.
