Access Control
Access control in cybersecurity refers to the process
of managing and regulating who is allowed to access certain data, applications, and resources. It represents a critical security measure to ensure that only authorized individuals or entities can access sensitive information or systems. Access control methods can include role-based access control (RBAC), discretionary access control (DAC), and mandatory access control (MAC). Common issues with access control include overly permissive permissions, lack of proper access reviews, and inadequate implementation of the principle of least privilege. Access control is part of a larger concept known as identity and access management (IAM), which encompasses all policies and technologies used to manage digital identities and control access to resources.
