Question

How does "segregation of duties" work when it comes to computer security?

Answer 1

Answer)
The computer security and information security is the security of the computer, data and informational systems which focus on the security safety and control over the information and data. The segregation of duties also known as the separation of duties is the concept of internal controls which is achieved by disseminating the tasks and also the privileges are used and distributed among multiple people.

The separation of duties is the concept where more than one person is required to complete a task and it is the costliest security control to achieve. The ideas in the security control is to spread the tasks and also the privileges for the security tasks among many people and thus this is a separation of the duties. Thus in a computer security topic, this means that no single user while doing an operation will have the total access to perform that operation, i.e. there have to be other suers who will have some other part before or after each user. Thus it will take more than one user to make a computer operation possible.
