RBAC - Benefits and Practices

-

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.

This means that every user, device, and application trying to access resources on a private network must be verified and authenticated, regardless of their location or network environment. The model challenges the traditional notion of "trust but verify" by implementing strict access controls and continuous verification processes.

The Zero Trust Model has emerged as a powerful alternative to traditional security models in the ever-evolving cybersecurity landscape. It challenges the long-standing notion of Trust within a network and offers a more proactive, comprehensive approach to safeguarding sensitive data.  This article conducts a comparative analysis of Zero Trust and traditional security models, shedding light on what sets Zero Trust apart and why it is gaining momentum. Traditional Security: The Perimeter Defense Paradigm The idea of a network perimeter has long been a cornerstone of conventional security approaches. Trust is often assumed inside the network, while external entities are treated as potential threats. Critical characteristics of traditional security include: Firewalls and Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) - They serve as a perimeter defense and stop unlawful entry. To identify insider risks, though, they might have trouble. VPN and Network Segmentation -   These technologies crea...
