Least Privilege

What it is: Security principle: grant only the permissions needed for the task—nothing more.

What it’s for:

  • Reduce damage if credentials are compromised.
  • Improve security posture.

How to apply:

  • Scope by action (read vs write).
  • Scope by resource (specific bucket/table/ARN).
  • Add conditions (IP, MFA, tags).

Hard words:

  • *principle* /ˈprɪnsəpəl/: nguyên tắc
  • *compromised* /ˈkɑːmprəmaɪzd/: bị lộ/bị chiếm
  • *posture* /ˈpɑːstʃər/: trạng thái (mức độ an toàn)
