Description: Field security refers to the measures implemented to protect specific data fields within information systems, ensuring that only authorized users can access, modify, or delete such information. This approach is crucial in identity and access management, as it allows for granular control over who can interact with sensitive data. Through techniques such as encryption, role-based access control (RBAC), and multi-factor authentication, field security helps mitigate the risk of unauthorized access and data breaches. Additionally, it enables organizations to comply with privacy and data protection regulations, such as GDPR, by ensuring that personal and confidential information is adequately protected. Implementing field security not only enhances user trust in the handling of their data but also strengthens the overall security posture of the organization by reducing the attack surface and limiting the impact of potential security breaches.
