Least-privileged access is the idea that any given user should be granted the minimum level of access necessary to perform their assigned function. Least-privileged access may also be known as the principle of minimal privilege (POMP) or the principle of least authority (POLA), but what is consistent across all terms is that the organization attempts to reduce exposure by curtailing unauthorized access to business applications or resources and restricting lateral movement across the network.
