IDENTITY AND ACCESS MANAGEMENT, AND ITS CONTROL SYSTEM TYPES

When it comes to information security, identity and access management are vital. IAM provides an interface that ties into the organization's governance policies for managing user accounts, with different levels of privilege misuse being one prevalent threat actor in most ransomware attacks today.

It provides the framework to manage users' Identity Lifecycle, but what are some other benefits? IAM helps organizations adopt an appropriate level for each person within its walls - whether they're privileged or not! 

Identity and access management describes various protection mechanisms to prevent unauthorized access. IAM uses different types of controls, these controls can be implemented in several ways, and the effectiveness depends on how seriously you take your data regulations. Let's have a look at some of these control systems.

1. Mandatory Access Control: This system enforces strict rules for what employees are allowed to see when it comes down to their clearance levels. This includes top secret information alongside less sensitive but still very important details like contracts or negotiations plans; this is typically done through multilevel security labels such as "Top Secret", and much more. 

2. Discretionary Access Control: This type of access control is designed to permit subjects with specific permissions or groups to belong to - such as employees and contractors- to pass those privileges on. This means there's no need for additional authentication when someone wants something from your system because you already know who has permission!

3. Physical Access Control: With physical access control, you can restrict the location of people who enter your organization's spaces. 

For this reason, it is often used in conjunction with an electronic security system or ID cards. It verifies that employees are authorized at any given time when entering restricted areas outside their workstation area--and also ensures no one but rightful visitors are allowed inside!

4. Role-based access control: Role-Based Access Control is a type of control that uses one's role as the basis to restrict access. 

Custom roles are usually created to maintain an adequate level of privilege while restricting it when no longer needed; this helps reduce potential negative consequences from accessing data without permission or exceeding authority's limitations in general.

5. Attribute-based access control: This form of security regulates access based on an object's attributes. These can be user-specific or environmental, both useful in different situations for controlling who gets into what you're protecting!
