NetApp Certified Technology Associate (NCTA) — Question 14

You are currently performing all the important administrator and maintenance tasks for your system, and need to delegate work to the staff so that you can attend to other issues.
Which approach will you take to ensure that your systems are safe?

Answer options

• A. Provide all users with power user access.
• B. Employ mandatory integrity control.
• C. Provide all users with administrator access.
• D. Employ the principle of least privilege.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The principle of least privilege is crucial as it restricts users to only the permissions necessary for their tasks, minimizing potential security risks. Providing all users with power user or administrator access can lead to unintended changes or security breaches. Mandatory integrity control is important but does not specifically address the delegation of tasks while maintaining security.
