Business Access Control Systems- Perhaps the one thing that tends to play the most important part in any business in terms of security is access control, as this allows personnel to either permit or restrict access to certain locations within a building. Each specific type of access control is designed to outline various permission levels, as well as how those levels are assigned.
Here are four of the most common types of access control for businesses.
*First and foremost, one of the most common types of access control for businesses is discretionary access control, which is considered to be perhaps the least restrictive type of access control. This type of control permits individuals to be granted total control over anything that they own, as well as any and all programs that are associated with those same objects. From there, individuals will then be able to determine exactly who will be able to have access to their objects by taking the time to program certain security level settings for other individuals.
*Another of the most common types of access control for businesses is mandatory access control, which is considered to be perhaps the most restrictive type of access control. This type of control permits only the system owner to both control and manage access based solely on the settings that have been established by the system’s programmed parameters, none of which are able to be either bypassed or altered in any way, shape, or form. Furthermore, the end-user will be unable to control any of the privileges or permissions – they will only be able to access points that have been provided to them by the system owner.
*One other common type of access control for businesses is rule-based access control, which is designed to assign or deny access to users based solely on rules and limitations established by either the owner or system administrator. These rules can potentially limit access based on a multitude of situations, such as the location of an individual, the time of the day, or what device is currently being used. Being able to customize rules and permissions is a factor that makes this type of control a more ideal form for businesses that are in need of a more dynamic security solution.
*Another common type of access control for businesses is role-based access control, which is also commonly referred to as non-discretionary access control. This type of control is designed to offer access based solely on an individual’s specific position within a business, meaning that, essentially, predefined roles can be associated with certain permissions. This will enable the administrator to assign someone only a certain amount of access that is required for them to perform their job. Due to how simple this type of control is considered to be, it is considered to be perhaps one of the most popular types used in businesses, despite the fact that it has drawbacks such as being unable to grant one-time permissions whenever an exception to standard permissions may be necessary.
