Key Factors for Access Controls
Access can mean consuming, entering or using a business asset or resource. Place might be an entire facility or room within the facility. Credentials provide individuals with permission to access the asset or resource.
Authentication
Through authentication and authorization, access control policies make sure users are who they say they are and that they have appropriate access to company data.
Restricted Access
Once a user is authenticated, access control then authorizes the appropriate level of access and allowed actions associated with that user’s credentials and IP address.
Confidentiality
Access control keeps confidential information, including customer data, personally identifiable information, and intellectual property, from falling into the wrong hands.
Why is Access Control Important?
In the field of security, access control is the selective restriction of access to a place or resource, requiring individuals to provide credentials in order to gain access. This allows the free flow of people and their work, but only at approved times, in approved places, and when there is a legitimate business purpose.
