When designing access controls in Google Cloud, which security principle dictates granting each user only the minimum set of permissions necessary to perform their job functions?
Zero trust networking
Defense in depth
Principle of least privilege
Segregation of duties
The principle of least privilege requires that identities-whether human users or service accounts-receive only the permissions they need to complete their tasks, and no more. Applying this concept limits the potential impact of credential misuse or human error because unauthorized actions are blocked by default. Segregation of duties focuses on splitting responsibilities to prevent fraud, defense in depth emphasizes multiple layers of security controls, and zero trust networking centers on continuous verification of identity and context. While these concepts are also important, they do not specifically define limiting permissions to the bare minimum; that is the core of least-privilege access.
