Data and Database Security

After a security breach, a database administrator must ensure that users cannot modify data unless the management team approves a request. Which of the following principles addresses this issue?

  • A Open access
  • B Least resistance
  • C Elevated privilege
  • D Least privilege
Explanation

The principle of least privilege restricts each user to only the permissions necessary for their authorized duties. Data-modification rights can therefore be granted only to users whose access has been approved.
