Description: Group Security refers to the measures implemented to protect a set of users or systems from various security threats. This approach is based on the premise that user groups, rather than isolated individuals, can be more effective in managing and mitigating risks. In the context of information security and identity and access management, group security allows for the establishment of access and control policies that apply to all members of a group, thus facilitating administration and compliance with regulations. Key features include segmenting users into groups based on roles, implementing identity-based access policies, and continuously monitoring activities. This approach not only enhances operational efficiency but also reduces the attack surface by limiting access to critical resources only to those who truly need it. In a Zero Trust environment, where it is assumed that no entity, internal or external, is trustworthy by default, group security becomes an essential component to ensure that credentials and access are managed rigorously and controlled.
