Least privilege concept

The concept of "least privilege" is a basic security concept: Every access and execution right to components and data in your ICS should be restricted to the maximum possible extend for each user. In doing so, care must be taken to ensure that the availability of the plant is limited as little as possible. This fundamental measure is so important because restricted access significantly increases the effort required for malicious data manipulation and reduces the risk of accidental manipulation.
