Best Practices for Implementing the Principle of Least Privilege
The principle of least privilege (POLP) involves providing users with access to the bare minimum features of an application that will allow them to perform their tasks without any inconvenience.
Here is a list of best practices that you can follow to implement the Principle of Least Privilege:
- Always use an account without any administrative privileges to perform day-to-day tasks.
- Do not allow all applications to execute under all accounts.
- Do not provide users with the rights to perform administrative tasks.
- While removing restrictions on accounts, ensure that the restrictions are removed for the minimum possible time.
- Remove unused guest accounts with weak passwords from your computer.
