Description: User privilege management is the process of managing user privileges to ensure they have the appropriate level of access to an organization’s resources and systems. This approach is fundamental for maintaining information security and preventing unauthorized access. Privilege management involves the assignment, review, and revocation of access permissions, ensuring that users can only access the information and tools necessary to perform their roles. This not only helps protect sensitive data but also minimizes the risk of human error and malicious attacks. In a business environment, privilege management is integrated into broader security strategies, such as security orchestration and the Zero Trust security model, where it is assumed that no entity, internal or external, is trusted by default. The implementation of privilege management policies is also supported by automation technologies that enable rapid response to security incidents, ensuring that access is adjusted to the changing needs of the organization and emerging threats.
