A security administrator in a bank is required to enforce an access control policy so no single individual is allowed to both initiate and approve financial transactions.
Which of the following BEST represents the impact the administrator is deterring?
A . Principle of least privilege
B . External intruder
C . Conflict of Interest
D . Fraud
Answer: A
Explanation:
The principle of least privilege works by allowing only enough access to perform the required job. In an IT environment, adhering to the principle of least privilege reduces the risk of attackers gaining access to critical systems or sensitive data by compromising a low-level user account, device, or application.
