Access Control

Role-Based Access Control operates like assigning staff badges in a corporate office each badge (role) comes with a predefined set of room access permissions, minimizing the risk of privilege creep where employees accumulate unnecessary rights over time. Attribute-Based Access Control steps things up by considering contextual elements like time of day, physical location, device health kind of like a smart building that only unlocks certain floors after hours to employees whose badges, geolocation, and smartphone health check all pass muster. Periodic reviews and segregation of duties audits function as routine fire drills and safety inspections, catching orphaned or excessive privileges before they turn into security disasters.
