Attribute Based Access Control

The video tutorial explains attribute-based access control (ABAC), a flexible solution for managing access rights in information systems. ABAC assigns access based on attributes of the user, resource, and environment, allowing for granular policy creation. It contrasts with role-based access control, which requires specific roles and permissions for each new project. ABAC simplifies access management by using centralized policies applicable across all projects, reducing complexity and risk. The National Cyber Security Center of Excellence promotes ABAC as a practical solution for cybersecurity challenges.
