Jim Zierrich, of financialrisks.com, says The Goldilocks Principle is the Principle of Least Privileges because end users in a least privileges environment “are neither given too much, nor too little, but just enough to do their jobs well.”   Jim is referring to the access users are given within the workforce, that allows them to do what is required for the job.  It is important to remember that the Principle of Least Privileges is not limiting access but rather it is managing the access to approved IT systems and applications on the basis of employee roles and their requirements to fulfill their job duties.

The added layer of protection offered through least privileges further protects companies from unwanted incidents. Companies are turning to Viewfinity for a privilege management solution that creates a least privileges environment, adding an extra layer of IT security protection.
