What is User Access Control?
User Access control is at the heart of cybersecurity and it is integrated into our everyday life. User access control regulates who has what access, and when they have access to it. User access controls should be the first priority – here’s why.
Components of User Access Control
To protect enterprise systems, organizations must review their access controls periodically. This is not only mandated by compliance regulations, but is a best practice for cyber security. Because user access rights are ever changing and are always in motion, the access control review is a necessary and vital part of having visibility on who has what systems access.
YouAttest is a cloud-based access review reporting engine designed to achieve this visibility. YouAttest shows not only who has access, but also who within the enterprise attests to that person’s access rights. Such a process ensures that users only have access to the minimum amount of information they need, referred to as the Principle of Least Privilege.
The user-friendly YouAttest cloud-based system streamlines the management process of access control reviews by gathering this data in one place for enhancing reporting and dramatically improved management.
What Does User Access Control Govern?
Issuing credentials, granting, and revoking data access rights are in constant change within the modern business world. Managing access control reviews is crucial, but it can be a cumbersome challenge.
Traditional manual means of access review, such as managing spreadsheets or monitoring emails, are prone to human error and it is time-consuming. Maintaining access controls is also exacerbated by business dynamics such as mergers and acquisitions, going public, and business-to-business interactions.
Whether you are working with user access credentials, contractors, supply chain partners, auditors, or other third-party consultants, keeping track of user access control can become more automated and streamlined with YouAttest!
