Problem Statement
Explain the principle of least privilege and its importance in system security.
Explanation
The principle of least privilege means granting users or systems only the access rights they need to perform their tasks — no more, no less. This limits opportunities for misuse or damage if credentials are compromised. In system security interviews you might be asked how you applied this principle to role design and access control. Showing you understand this principle demonstrates maturity and alignment with secure practices.
