Episode 27: Principle of Least Privilege

30 Aug 2025

Description

In this episode, we explore the principle of least privilege (PoLP), a key concept in AWS identity and access management (IAM). The principle of least privilege dictates that users and services should be granted the minimum level of access necessary to perform their tasks. We’ll dive into how AWS allows you to enforce PoLP using IAM policies, roles, and resource-based permissions, ensuring that your AWS resources are only accessible to those who need them.We’ll also discuss real-world examples of how to implement this principle across different AWS services, including S3, EC2, and Lambda, to minimize security risks. By applying PoLP, you reduce the attack surface and limit the potential damage in case of a security breach. This episode will help you understand how to implement the best access control practices in AWS, ensuring your environment remains secure and compliant. Produced by BareMetalCyber.com, your trusted resource for expert-driven cybersecurity education.
