Least privilege is a principle in access management that states that users should be granted only the minimum level of access required to perform their job functions or tasks. In other words, users should have access only to the resources and data that are necessary to perform their duties, and no more. The principle of least privilege is based on the idea that limiting user access to resources reduces the risk of accidental or intentional misuse or exposure of sensitive data. By granting users access only to the resources and data they need, organizations can limit the impact of security incidents and data breaches, and reduce the likelihood of data loss or theft. Enforcing least privilege can be challenging, particularly in large organizations with complex access requirements. However, it is an important security practice that can significantly reduce the risk of data breaches and other security incidents. Organizations can use access management software like Opal to help implement and enforce least privilege access policies. One of the best ways to implement least privilege is just-in-time access.
