Thesis: Using the principle of least privilege and roles to help secure a government network system.
In high security government network systems with Department of Homeland Security, the use of roles and least privilege is necessary to help secure systems. It is essential to define an employee’s job role and provide the tools that are needed to perform their job. However, using the principle of least privilege is crucial in providing the employee access to only resources absolutely needed to execute the essential roles. Management can add or remove tools as needed for his team’s employees. Supervisors are trained to regulate systems and must review access regularly.
Within DHS networks, officers have access to high level security applications.
