Episode 25 — Enforce Least Privilege and Separation of Duties in Daily Decisions

This episode explains how least privilege and separation of duties work together to reduce both error and abuse by ensuring that people receive only the access they need and that critical actions are not controlled by one person alone. For the exam, you should recognize that these are not abstract principles but practical control decisions that affect approvals, access design, transaction review, administration, and oversight. Examples such as a developer deploying unreviewed code to production, a finance employee both creating and approving payments, or an administrator holding broad rights across unrelated systems will help show how these controls prevent conflict, reduce damage potential, and support better governance in everyday operations.
