Sample Question
See the Quality
Harder than the real exam, with detailed explanations
An organization wants to limit the damage if a single user account is compromised, ensuring each employee can access only the resources their job requires. Which security principle should guide the access configuration?
Defense in depth
Least privilege
Separation of duties
Security through obscurity
Explanation
Least privilege grants each user only the minimum access needed to do their job, which directly limits the blast radius of a compromised account. Defense in depth layers multiple controls but is broader than access scoping. Separation of duties splits a sensitive task across people to prevent fraud. Security through obscurity relies on hiding details and is not a sound access-control strategy.
