This ebook focuses on reducing security risks associated with privileged accounts by adopting a Zero Trust approach. It introduces the concept of Zero Standing Privilege, where administrative access is granted only when needed and revoked immediately after use. The guide explains how standing privileges increase attack surfaces and enable lateral movement. It outlines a phased approach that includes discovering existing privileges, removing unnecessary access, and implementing just-in-time access controls. By enforcing least privilege and continuously monitoring privileged activity, organizations can significantly reduce the risk of credential abuse, insider threats, and large-scale breaches.
