Anthony Reinke Just getting a few things out of my head

Least Privilege Security Model

I am finding in my daily work that everyone talks about and wants the least privilege security model until want access to something. We can redesign a network share and say that only groups are allowed and that we are not to allow user access to directly to have access and within a month of going live there is a handful of user accounts listed. What I also find funny is how people react when you ask why? Why do you need this access? You would think I am asking them to justify why they exist. My goal is to be able to document and justify why I have granted access to something (share, server, etc.) and they get offended. Using the model of least privilege help to protect everyone and the company.
