Access Control
Access control is the management of access to a place or resource for both physical and computer security purposes. Organizations and businesses often look to access control security solutions to minimize risk. There are three basic types of access control technology systems:
- Discretionary Access Control (DAC)
- Mandatory Access Control (MAC)
- Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)
Discretionary Access Control
DAC is an access control system in which the owner is responsible for making decisions related to granting people access to a premises, unit, or location, either physically or digitally. Typically, this model utilizes widely popular operating systems. An example of this type of system is Access Control Lists (ACLs).
Mandatory Access Control
MAC is a security strategy in which individual resource owners grant or deny access to resource objects within a file system. These restrictions, made through an operating system, dictate who or what can perform any action on files, directories, TCP/UDP ports, shared memory segments, IO devices, or processes.
Role-Based Access Control
RBAC (also known as Non-Discretionary Access Control) grants access based on organizational roles. Privileges and limitations of the employee’s role coincide with his or her job responsibilities. RBAC streamlines system setup and maintenance because, rather than creating a unique security profile manually for each individual, the system administrator assigns access to specific job titles or roles within the organization and grants system access that way. RBAC is very efficient and is often used by enterprises with 500+ employees.
Access Control Security Solutions
