🔐 Security 101: The Principle of Least Privilege 🔐 In the world of cybersecurity, one principle stands out for its effectiveness: the Principle of Least Privilege (PoLP). What is PoLP? Simply put, it’s the practice of granting users and systems the minimum levels of access necessary to perform their tasks. This means if someone doesn’t need access to certain data or functions, they shouldn’t have it. Why is this so crucial? 🛡️ By limiting access, you reduce the potential impact of a security breach. If an account is compromised, the damage is contained. Fewer permissions mean fewer entry points for cybercriminals. With limited access, tracking and auditing become simpler and more effective.

The terms Security and Compliance are often used interchangeably, but they are two related yet distinct concepts: You can be secure without being compliant... or you can be compliant without really being secure. While #security and #compliance share similar goals of protecting an organization's assets, they differ in approach, scope, and implementation. Effective cybersecurity requires a balance between security and compliance to defend against threats while meeting regulatory requirements.

Much of the US was on spring break last week, but cybersecurity developments never slow down. We've learned that the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, part of the Department of Homeland Security, is floating a proposal mandating timely reporting of cybersecurity incidents. Sound familiar?
