Privileged access is any account that can change security settings, read everyone’s mail, or administer cloud infrastructure. SMBs often over-grant it because “we’re small.”
Core practices
- Least privilege by default
- Separate privileged accounts from daily work
- Time-bound elevation when possible
- Monitor and alert on privileged sign-ins
- Keep break-glass accounts rare and audited
