It advocates a Zero Trust approach—least privilege, just-in-time administration, segmentation, and application-level ringfencing—and provides role-based checklists for IT, GRC, security architects, and CISOs to tighten access control, concluding with a brief promotion of ThreatLocker Storage Control for fine-grained data access management.
