Trust is the basis of society and business. As employees need access to information to do their job, it is impossible to nullify the ability of users to exploit their privileges if they turn rogue.
Users ask for access to more and more assets to do their jobs and the IT departments tend to approve and carry on. With time and employee churn, more-than-intended pools of privilege are created, especially with long-term employees.
The right way of going about it is VALIDATING that your least-privilege policy is concurrent with your least-privilege practice. This needs to happen even if you can’t afford a fully-fledged Privileged Access Management system.
