Dell EMC Associate – Cloud Infrastructure and Services v4 — Question 3

Which cloud security design principle prevents an individual from improper access or system misuse?

Answer options

• A. Least privilege
• B. Data privacy and ownership
• C. Separation of duties
• D. Secure multitenancy

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The principle of least privilege ensures that users have only the access necessary to perform their job functions, thereby minimizing the risk of unauthorized access or misuse. The other options, while important for cloud security, do not specifically address the issue of restricting access rights based on necessity.
