Description

The concept of least privilege is also applied to information system processes, ensuring that the processes operate at privilege levels no higher than necessary to accomplish required organizational missions and/or functions. Accounts used to perform security-related functions on the IDPS components must not be used to perform non-privileged functions on the IDPS. Security functions include, for example, establishing system accounts, configuring access authorizations (i.e., permissions, privileges), setting events to be audited, and setting intrusion detection parameters. Non-privileged security functions are not authorized on the IDPS components regardless of configuration.
