Description: Policy-Based Security is a security approach that relies on predefined policies to manage access and security controls in digital environments. This model allows organizations to establish clear rules about who can access what resources, under what conditions, and in what circumstances. Unlike traditional approaches that often focus on perimeter protection, Policy-Based Security emphasizes user identity and access context, promoting a ‘Zero Trust’ model where no entity, whether internal or external, is trusted by default. Policies can include criteria such as the user’s geographical location, the device from which access is made, the associated risk level, and other contextual factors. This approach not only enhances security by limiting access to sensitive information but also facilitates auditing and regulatory compliance, as each access is governed by clear and documented policies. In a world where cyber threats are becoming increasingly sophisticated, Policy-Based Security has become an essential strategy for protecting organizations’ digital assets.
