Description: An access control model is a framework that defines how access to resources within a system is granted and managed. This model establishes the rules and policies that determine who can access what resources and under what conditions. Access control models are fundamental for information security, as they help protect sensitive data and ensure that only authorized users can interact with certain systems or information. There are different types of models, such as Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC), and Discretionary Access Control (DAC), each with its own characteristics and applications. Implementing an effective access control model is crucial for identity and access management, as it allows organizations to clearly define user responsibilities and permissions, thereby minimizing the risk of unauthorized access and potential security breaches. In an increasingly digitized environment, where data is a valuable asset, the adoption of robust access control models has become essential to maintain the integrity and confidentiality of information.
