A solid security infrastructure is built around user permissions and two-factor authentication. The ability to manage user permissions is an essential element in reducing the possibility that malicious or accidental insider activity will occur, minimizing the effects of data breaches and ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements.
1. Reduce the threat of insider threats
The principle of least privilege is a standard way to limit user access. This means that users should be granted only access to the resources they require to perform their duties. This reduces the potential impact of any illegal activities that are performed by employees or third-party vendors.
2. Minimize the Risk of a Data Breach
Many industries are subject to strict regulations that require strict data protection practices. By controlling permissions for users companies can ensure compliance by ensuring that only authorized personnel have access to sensitive information.
3. Reduce the risk of third-party Vendor Activity
Many data breaches happen as a result of compromised credentials owned by third-party vendors. Reviewing and updating regularly the user’s permissions can reduce the chance that external vendors will gain access without authorization.
4. Flexibility for Privilege Escalation
Role-based Access Control (RBAC) is now a popular way to manage the rights of users. It assigns specific rights in accordance with roles that have been defined. The roles can be combined to give you a more precise control of access. For instance, a senior physician, for instance, may have more privileges when it comes to viewing patient information than an internist. RBAC can also be set to require a two-factor authentication (2FA) even for specific roles to limit the risk of being unauthorized to access the system even if a password is compromised.
