The principle of least privilege (PolP) is an information security model focused on restricting the number of identities with privileged access to networks, applications, data, programs, and processes to only those who require that access. In identity and access management (IAM), least privilege is applied by determining the minimal access privileges required for every identity and using access controls to manage that access. Privilege is attached to human users as well as non-human identities and is most often assigned based on the user’s job duties or the non-human identity’s role within an application.
An MCP server is a core component of the Model Context Protocol (MCP)—a framework built to enable AI models like large language models (LLMs) to interact with real-world tools, data sources, and reusable prompts in a standardized way. It’s a foundational part of the growing ecosystem of AI systems designed for dynamic, context-aware interaction and automation.
Agentic AI refers to a new evolution in artificial intelligence—one where AI agents can make context-aware decisions and interact with systems and other agents to complete tasks on behalf of users or organizations. These agents don’t just suggest next steps—they execute them, often without the need for human intervention.
What Is Identity Security Posture Management (ISPM)
What is identity security posture management (ISPM)?
Identity security posture management (ISPM) is a comprehensive and proactive approach to securing an organization’s digital identities and access privileges. It involves continuously monitoring, assessing, and improving the security of identity-related systems and access controls to ensure that user identities, permissions, and access behaviors align with an organization’s security policies.
