Attribute Based Access Control
Attribute based access control (ABAC) is a logical access control method based on attributes associated with the applicant, information, transaction and context of the request.
Rules are created using these attributes that establish the access policy for the organisation.
Attributes
Examples of these attributes are: name and role, address information or corporate information, read and write rights and the geographical location or time.
Benefits ABAC
An advantage of ABAC is the real-time access to all information within the organisation for all types of requests. This is also accomplished without the need to configure a large-scale administration model.
ABAC Security
ABAC provides the indispensable resources to enable security to be accomplished via Who, What, Where, Why and With what.
