At the core of effective IDTR is the principle of least privilege, which scrutinizes who has access to systems and assets and for how long.

Let's take a closer look at what comprises an ITDR approach and the basics of least privilege, then explore how least privilege enables CISOs to implement and manage successful ITDR strategies.

This is because least privilege requires the removal of all unnecessary user access: Access is limited to only what an employee needs to do their job, and only for as long as they need it.

Another critical aspect of least privilege is how long users are given access.

Why least privilege is essential for ITDR. Stripping down accounts and access sets the foundation for a successful ITDR implementation.

Enhanced detection: Least privilege simplifies user activity monitoring, a crucial element of ITDR. With clear boundaries around user access, anomalous behavior becomes easier to identify.
