Definition
Access controls are the mechanisms that monitor, prevent, and control access to essential resources, from buildings and garage doors to network data repositories.
Introduction
As technology becomes increasingly pervasive, access controls are everywhere. Examples of access controls include the use of access cards to gain entry into controlled areas, buildings and parking spaces, the use of biometric authentication to access cell phones, and the use of online credentials to access social media like Facebook and Twitter and credentials required to gain access to work computers.
Access controls are categorized into two types, logical and physical. Logical access controls feature connections using hardware, software, identification protocols, authentication, authorization, and accountability (audit), to allow access to a computer system and/or a network resource. Physical access controlsrefer to access to buildings, rooms, and control gates. These controls use key fobs, access...
