An organization observes that a system utility escalates its authority beyond what was intended. Which solution best addresses this concern so digital tasks do not exceed assigned privileges?
Provide broader resource permissions to frequent background tasks
Limit the creation of background tasks to mitigate escalation risks
Assign unique credentials to each utility and specify minimal authority
Assign a shared credential for utilities across the environment
Identifying each utility with its own credentials and limiting authority enforces proper boundaries, preventing unwarranted influence. Providing a shared credential across the environment leads to lack of isolation, and granting broader permissions to frequent tasks can increase potential risk. Limiting the creation of tasks can hamper operations without addressing the underlying security gap.
