When users\u00a0maintain\u00a0constant admin rights, any account compromise automatically grants attackers elevated system access. Zero Trust addresses this by implementing just-in-time privilege elevation, where users request temporary administrative access only when needed, with each elevation verified and logged.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">This privilege-focused approach prevents lateral movement and limits attack impact since compromised accounts\u00a0don&#8217;t\u00a0automatically inherit permanent elevated permissions.
