Access Control

Access Control includes authentication, authorization and audit. It also includes additional measures such as physical devices, including biometric scans and metal locks, hidden paths, digital signatures, encryption, social barriers, and monitoring by humans and automated systems. Authorization may be implemented using role based access control, access control lists or a policy language such as XACML.

Role Engineering - The Cornerstone of Role-Based Access Control
By :CA Published Date: Jun 25, 2008
Role-based access control (RBAC) is becoming the norm for managing entitlements within commercial systems and applications. RBAC can play a significant role in establishing a model for enforcing security within organizations. It simplifies entitlement management by using roles (as opposed to users) as authorization subjects. Having a holistic approach to role definition can help alleviate certification-related regulatory compliance challenges, and should be considered an integral part of any IAM initiative.

NAC at the Endpoint: Control Your Network Through Device Compliance
By :Sophos Published Date: May 23, 2008
Protecting IT networks used to be a straightforward case of encircling computers and servers with a firewall and ensuring that all traffic passed through just one gateway.

Self-Service Password Management
By :NetWrix Published Date: Apr 14, 2008
Password practices that improve security are by their nature burdensome to the user, resulting in passwords difficult to remember which are often changed about the same time they have finally become memorized. Yet password security remains a cornerstone of system security: as much as 80% of security breaches take place not through arcane hacking and virus attacks, but through system infiltration facilitated by use of a password.

Federation Products 2008
By :Burton Group Published Date: Jan 02, 2008
The identity federation market enjoys an exceptional supply of products. With well over a dozen products available to enterprise customers, most architects have more choices than time will allow for evaluation. This abundance of products is partly the result of the inherent difficulty of developing a truly multipurpose federation server. Although federation products are similar in name, each has its own personality and idiosyncrasies that make it suitable for certain environments but insufficient in others.
