  FreeRADIUS is one of the most used and developed RADIUS servers in the world. This network system was formed in the year 1999 by Miquel van Smoorenburg and Alan DeKok. The FreeRADIUS network is responsible for providing internet services and network authentication to almost one-third of internet users all over the world.  Over 100 million people use FreeRADIUS on a daily basis to access the internet. It is actually a project which works and aims to provide more authentication ways and types than any other open-source server. The freeRADIUS project focuses on providing its users with : New Models Development. Submission of New Models. Patch Issues. FreeRADIUS, being the network provider for the majority of the population, becomes somewhat necessary to keep a check on its functioning and to keep a track of its server testing and monitoring tools.

It says that brands or companies should not grant access to their online networks to anyone, be it, insider or outsider, without authentication. It simply says, that one should not grant access to your systems until you know who the user is and whether they are authorized or not.   The Zero Trust model was created by JOHN KINDERVAG, in the year 2010.

Just in case, if few of the employees are working on more than one project, so they’d be getting access to the data and network systems, of all the live projects they are working on and once their work is done or finished, one can remove them from the grant access list of that particular data.   It is a security system, which works on the principle of restricting system access. It specifica...
