Access control is only effective if it remains accurate over time. This episode explains how access reviews confirm that permissions align with roles and responsibilities, ensuring least privilege is preserved. We highlight advanced workflows such as Just-In-Time (JIT) access, which grants temporary credentials, and Just-Enough Access (JEA), which narrows rights to the minimal actions required. These techniques reduce standing privileges and shrink the attack surface significantly.

Exam questions often frame access reviews around governance and compliance, testing whether you can recognize when access must be revoked or recertified. By mastering review processes, you’ll demonstrate how organizations prevent privilege creep and limit insider risk while supporting productivity. Effective reviews are a cornerstone of both operational hygiene and regulatory assurance in the cloud. Produced by BareMetalCyber.com.
