Access control systems perform identification authentication and authorization of users and entities by:
Strengthening login security through multi-factor authentication
Restricting user privilege through elevated authority management solutions
Granting requests for access to systems and data based on the user's identity and the request's context.
A complete system access control solution requires a layered defense to protect access control systems.
How is system access control performed?
System access control solutions determine how users are allowed to interact with specific systems and resources. A robust system access control regime allows an organization to manage, restrict, and monitor user activity while protecting sensitive systems and data.
A robust system access control solution will intercept every request for access through network protocols, open source database protocols, communications ports, SQL statements, command lines, and more, determine whether to grant or deny the request based on precise rules and log both accepted and rejected access attempts.
