After identifying an account with unnecessary access privileges using the CrowdStrike CIEM/Identity Analyzer, what is the best action to mitigate risks?
Suggested Answer: D Vote an answer
Option A: While "read-only" permissions reduce risk, this blanket approach might hinder required operations if the account needs more specific access. Permissions should match the actual usage needs.
Option B: Using shared accounts violates best practices for identity and access management (IAM). Shared accounts obscure accountability and increase the risk of privilege misuse.
Option C: Deleting permissions without assessing operational needs can disrupt workflows and lead to unintended downtime. A more measured approach is required.
Option D: The best approach to mitigate risks is to reduce the account's permissions to only what is necessary for its current activities. This minimizes the potential for misuse or exploitation while maintaining operational functionality.
