Separation of Duties is a cybersecurity principle designed to reduce the risk of errors and fraud by dividing critical tasks among multiple individuals. This approach ensures that no single person has enough authority or access to misuse systems or data for personal gain. For example, in a financial system, one employee might be responsible for authorizing payments while another processes them, preventing either from committing fraud alone. This practice is widely used in both IT and business environments to strengthen internal controls and protect sensitive assets.
