While it is common for many organizations to add privileges to user accounts, it is somewhat rare for privileges to be revoked. As such, some standard users end up maintaining administrative access beyond what is needed to do their jobs. This results in unmonitored privilege escalation, or privilege creep. As users accumulate elevated privilege access, the organization becomes more vulnerable to cyberattacks, including data breaches. An adversary, armed with the compromised credential to the user whose access rights have been accumulated over a period of time, can move laterally across the network and execute threats like ransomware and supply chain attacks.
