Over #CyberSecurityAwarenessMonth, @IASME1 are highlighting the core technical controls within #CyberEssentials.
Access Control minimises access to sensitive data, limiting privileged access. This prevents malware being automatically installed onto software, securing your data.
The first #CyberEssentials control we are looking at for #CyberSecurityAwarenessMonth is Access Control.
By using a standard user account with least privilege, you can limit the risks of accidental & malicious damage.
