The Rogue Admin and Unfettered Data Access

▤ Summary

Engineering a system that separates powers is more complex, but the benefits far outway the cost when sensitive data is involved. Lazy security practices that give system administrators unfettered access to sensitive data causes undue harm to users and their interests. The effects of breaches are far more dangerous and long lasting when regulated data is involved and can affect the national interests and security of the United States. Imagine the implications of such a breach with HIPAA data, or even more so with transmissions that contain US Defense Articles protected under ITAR— What a nightmare.. When the stakes are that high the “accountability” security model has limited power as we have seen time and again with insider breaches.
