In a world where Zero Trust is becoming the industry standard, the last thing you want to do is give out unnecessary permissions. Striking a balance between empowering your employees and reigning in admin access can be challenging. While we often think of these issues in terms of our end users, IT employee accounts should be treated with the same level of scrutiny, providing just enough access to get the job done.
