Read Original

This article details the security principle of Separation of Privilege (or Privilege Separation), explaining that it requires multiple conditions or controls to complete a task, reducing attack opportunities. It discusses its implementation in contexts like Microsoft SQL Server, OpenSSH, and Azure AD MFA, and clarifies the distinction between Separation of Privilege and Separation of Duties (SoD).
