Role-based access control is a security system that restricts network access based on the person's role /position in an organization. The access to the network is divided into levels on the basis of employees who can access the network. It has become one of the most important methods of advanced access control.  In a role-based access control system, employees are only allowed to access the information which is necessary for them to perform their tasks efficiently. Access granted to individuals is based on many factors, like - authority, responsibility, and job competency. Not just this but a role-based access control system also allows restriction to computer resources as well, which can limit a person to specific tasks such as view, create, or modify a file. Let’s have a look at the practices and benefits of RBAC. PRACTICES: If you are looking forward to introducing a role-based access control system to your firm, then please make sure it should not happen without a thoughtf...

IAM stands for identity and access management and it is a security system server and a framework of business processes, policies, and technologies for the management to work on a digital basis. IAM helps the professionals in a company control user access to data with the help of identity access management . Identity and access management work based on many verification processes, namely - single sign-on, two-factor authentication, multi-factor authentication, and privileged access management.  It consists of many components and they are - 1. Identification of individuals 2. Identification of roles and their assigning 3. Adding, removing, and updating individuals and their roles 4. Assigning access levels of access 5. Protecting the data and the system IAM Tools - The technology of identity and access management is designed to simplify the      user provision and account setup processes. - These systems should decrease the time of the workflow and the...

LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol), is a secured internet protocol that emails and other program systems to ensure the information gathered from the server is authentic and to look into its data as well. LDAP is actually an advanced and streamlined version of an old directory called X.500.  LDAP works well and efficiently on TCP/IP networks, it helps in extracting the information and it can be accessed by anyone who is using the server. LDAP is mostly used by medium-large institutions, some of the examples of brands that use LDAP are - Microsoft, IBM, Lotus, and Netscape. Additionally, it is also an open directory that allows directories to be stored in any type of machine. LDAP is an organized secured protocol/directory. And here are different levels of LDAP - 1. The root directory 2. Countries 3. Organizations 4. Divisions, departments, etc 5. Individual 6. Individual resources LDAP can help people to access and drive information, from the database, with the help...

Zero Trust Security system is the latest security technology used these days. This system only allows and gives access to the information only if their account or network system is authenticated and if they are an authorized user. This framework for security purposes works on the strict mechanism of the identity verification process. Zero Trust Model follows the principle of “never trust, always verify”. The term Zero Trust was introduced by John Kindervag in 2010. He discovered the concept at Forrester Research. Zero Trust skips off the traditional ways of a network security system and has introduced a modern version to avoid breaching the servers and network security. There are three basic principles on which zero trust runs and they are - Verify explicitly, use least privileged access and assume breach. Zero Trust Model works on the following components - 1. Identities  2. Devices  3. Applications 4. Data 5. Infrastructure 6. Network  PILLARS CONNECTING TO DEVELOP Z...

FreeRADIUS is one of the most advanced and developed servers in the world. It was founded in the year 1999 by Miquel van Smoorenburg and Alan DeKok. Over millions of users are using the server these days. It is one of the most essential testing and monitoring tools used these days. It is actually used to check and keep a track of the server’s performance.  This server system comes inbuilt with all the RADIUS server system features, and one can use each of them. You can easily implement all the RADIUS characteristics and features with freeRADIUS as well.  Some of the features freeRADIUS offers are - 1. Performance and scalability 2. Operating system 3. AAA Functionality 4. Vendor dictionaries 5. Databases 6. Virtual servers 1. Performance and scalability: It is one of the fastest server systems in the globe. And this is so because its unique modular design allows it to be stripped down its own structure for embedded systems.  Also, it supports the option to expose all i...
