Manage and Ensure Enterprise Security With Role-Based Access Control Software

One of the biggest challenges for digital-first businesses is securing enterprise data from falling into the wrong hands. Stringent privacy regulations are making things even tougher for small businesses with limited budgets and expertise. Too much complex security framework can be disruptive to operations and hamper user experience. On the other hand, any negligence can snowball into serious compliance breaches. The solution is to adopt a role based access control mechanism.

What is the role based access control?

RBAC or Role-based Access Control is an enterprise security control model and a powerful alternative to user-based access control. Under an RBAC system, enterprise digital infrastructure users get access to resources and system administration based on roles assigned to them.

For example, a user with a "Marketing Manager" role can have access to marketing analytics software and advertising campaign data. Similarly, a "IT Engineer" role will have access to the company's code repositories and development tools. However, "Marketing Manager" cannot have access to payroll data or code repositories. Similarly, "IT Engineer" will not have direct access to marketing campaign data. If necessary, the IT engineer can be assigned a "Marketing" role (e.g., marketing assistant) for accessing campaign-related resources.

The key benefits of role based access control design

Implementing role based access control can offer several benefits to organizations, such as:

• Enhanced security of digital infrastructure
• Simplified administration and management
• Improved compliance with privacy regulations
• Accurate and well-defined audit trail
• Ease of scalability for small businesses

Despite several strong advantages, RBAC is not free from challenges. The biggest of them is 'role explosion'. It happens when an organization creates too many roles with too many overlapping responsibilities. So, it is crucial to define roles based on business function and use a strict separation of duty protocol.
