According to ISO/IEC 27001 controls, why should the use of privileged utility programs be restricted and tightly controlled?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

ISO/IEC 27002:2022 Clause 8.11 addresses ''Use of privileged utility programs'':

'The use of utility programs that might be capable of overriding system and application controls should be restricted and tightly controlled to prevent misuse.'

Such tools can provide powerful access or modification capabilities, which if misused can compromise the integrity and confidentiality of systems.

Are we sure restricting them is enough? Seems like a band-aid solution.

C sounds good, but is it really a priority over preventing misuse?

I thought it was also about ensuring compatibility, but I lean towards B since misuse seems like a bigger risk.

I have a vague recollection that these utility programs can really mess things up if not controlled properly. Maybe it’s about preventing unauthorized access?

I remember a practice question that emphasized the importance of controlling these programs to maintain system integrity. It feels like B is the right choice.

I think restricting privileged utility programs is mainly about preventing misuse, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the only reason.
