Description: Granular security policies are an access management approach that allows for the definition and application of detailed and specific security controls for different user roles and access levels within an organization. This approach is based on the principle that not all users need the same level of access to company resources, allowing for customization of security policies according to the needs and responsibilities of each individual. Granular policies can include restrictions based on location, the device used, access time, and other contextual factors. This not only enhances security by limiting access to sensitive information but also facilitates auditing and regulatory compliance, as access can be tracked and managed more effectively. In a Zero Trust security environment, where it is assumed that no entity, internal or external, is trustworthy by default, granular security policies are essential to ensure that every access is verified and authorized accurately, thereby minimizing the risk of security breaches and cyberattacks.
