👉 Privileges engineering is a critical aspect of system and application security that involves defining, managing, and enforcing the appropriate access rights to resources within a system. It aims to minimize the risk of unauthorized access and potential security breaches by ensuring that users, processes, or services only have the minimum level of privileges necessary to perform their tasks. This is achieved through a structured approach that includes identifying roles and responsibilities, assigning permissions based on the principle of least privilege, and regularly reviewing and updating access controls. By carefully managing these privileges, organizations can significantly enhance their security posture and protect sensitive data from internal and external threats.
