Google Cloud Digital Leader — Question 189

An organization wants to ensure that they grant users only the permissions they require to perform their job responsibilities. Which security principle describes this approach?

Answer options

• A. Cyber resilience
• B. Zero-trust
• C. Least privilege
• D. Security by default

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The Least privilege principle ensures that users have only the permissions they need to perform their tasks, minimizing potential security risks. Cyber resilience focuses on maintaining operations during incidents, Zero-trust is a security model that assumes no trust by default, and Security by default refers to standard configurations that may not necessarily limit permissions.
