Principle 1: Least
Privilege
Minimizing Access
Only grant necessary permissions to users or systems.
Reduces risk of misuse or unauthorized access.
Supports secure operations in simulations.
• Vital for managing sensitive data.

Principle 2: Defense
in Depth
Multiple Layers of Security
Employ overlapping layers of protection.
Combines technical, procedural, and physical controls.
Prevents single points of failure.
• Essential for securing simulation environments.

Principle 3:
Separation of Duties
Distributing Responsibilities
Avoids concentrating power or responsibility in one
entity.
Reduces risk of insider threats.
Enhances accountability in systems.
• Crucial for maintaining trust in simulation
integrity.
