Sean has been promoted and crossed-trained in several departments and each time, he has received more access rights and permissions. What is the company threatened by?
  1. Authorization Creep
  2. Network Sniffers
  3. Default to No Access
  4. Need-to-know Fallacy
Explanation
Answer: A - A company can be threatened by authorization creep when an employee is promoted and crossed-trained over time. It can be a large risk because too many users have too much privileged access to company assets. It is also difficult to know the exact access levels different individuals require, causing management and user provision to become prone to using identity management products and moving toward role-based access control implementation.
