Description

The principle of least privilege promoting minimal user profile privileges on databases based on the idea that limiting user's rights, makes the data more secure. This principle applies to users, batch files, and scripts. Patch management insures that your database applications are up to date and using the most secure version.

The principle of least privilege (POLP) also referred to as principle of minimal privilege
(POMP) or principles of least authority (POLA) requires that any program, user, or process must
have only the bare minimum privileges needed to access resources and information that are
essential for it to perform intended and legitimate function. For example, a user account created
with a prime function of creating backups does not need to install software. In addition, an
account created to play the function of pulling records from an organization's database does not
need admin right.
In other terms, the principle of least privilege functions by allowing or warranting only
enough access to undertake the required function. According to Kern & Anderl (2018), POMP
helps to minimize the risk of intruders gaining access to sensitive data or critical data by
compromising a low-level device, user account, or applicant. Kern & Anderl (2018) argue that
implementation of POLP by the use of RBAC helps to limit compromises to an area of origin,
and curbing them from spreading to other parts of the system. This is because an RBAC
application only allows users to access the needed information to do a particular function. It
prevents users from accessing resources or information that does not pertain to them.
