Permissions, the lifeblood of enterprise security management!

Mondo Technology Updated on 2024-01-29

In the digital age, businesses are increasingly at risk of cybersecurity threats and data breaches. In this era of information deluge, protecting the sensitive information and assets of enterprises has become a very important task. Permission management has become the lifeblood of enterprise security.

Permission management refers to the protection of critical data and systems from unauthorized access and abuse by reasonably allocating and controlling user access and operation permissions. It ensures that each user can only access and use resources within their responsibilities and authority, preventing the risk of information leakage and data loss.

But the governance of permissions is not an easy task, especially for large enterprises:

Complex permission structure

Permission structures within an enterprise can be complex, involving multiple departments, positions, and data classifications. Permission management needs to consider how to segment permissions, manage permission hierarchies, and ensure the accuracy and rationality of permission allocation.

Difficult to manage permission changes

With the change of personnel within the enterprise, the promotion of positions and the change of project requirements, the authority management needs to be followed up and adjusted in a timely manner. However, for large enterprises, managing and tracking permission changes can become complex and difficult.

System integration and compatibility issues

Enterprises may use multiple different systems and applications, and they need to ensure that these systems are integrated and compatible for unified rights management and control.

With the development of information technology, the permission model for solving the problem of enterprise rights management has emerged and is widely used, such as based onRole-based access control RBAC, group permissions GBAC that can maintain hierarchical relationships, and attribute-based access control policies ABAC.

RBAC is one of the most commonly used permission models, which binds roles to permissions, and each user only needs to have the required role to get the corresponding permissions. However, RBAC has the problem that if there are multiple permissions in a role, you need to set a role for each permission, which leads to increased complexity and maintenance costs for permission assignment.

In order to solve this problem, GBAC came into being. GBAC adopts a hierarchical approach to permission management, that is, the permissions are assigned to different groups, and there is a strict hierarchical relationship between groups. Each user only needs to have the required group to get the appropriate permissions. This method not only avoids the complexity caused by too many roles, but also ensures the hierarchical distribution of permissions.

In addition to RBAC and GBAC, ABAC is also a permissions model that has attracted much attention. The idea of ABAC is an attribute-based access control policy that restricts user access to resources by setting attributes. This approach is highly flexible and scalable to handle more complex security requirements.

But it doesn't matter if it's RBAC, GBAC, or ABACComplex technical problems and high development costs lead to high costs for enterprises to rely on self-research to solve problemsAt this time, the enterprise will hand over the construction of the authority system to mature products and services and experienced teams to support.

Kyushu Yunteng provides industry-leading permission management methods, and builds a variety of permission models (RBAC, GBAC, ABAC) and authorization relationships into a very flexible and powerful authorization matrixAuthorization by role, group, attribute, and other methods is supportedIt provides enterprises with more complete and complex authorization scenarios to help them complete unified control of permissions.

Complex permission scenarios, fine-grained permission allocation control

There are a variety of different roles and positions in large enterprises, each of which may require different permissions. Tracking and managing these diverse permission requirements can get complex. Kyushu Yunteng flexibly manages and assigns the permissions of different users through functions such as role assignment, inheritance relationship, and organizational structure control. At the same time, it follows the principle of permission minimization and is based on the authorization capability of Kyushu Yunteng to meet the needs of enterprises for sensitive permissions and fine-grained permissions. Level 1 authorization refers to application-level authorization, such as a user accessing an application, Level 2 authorization refers to whether a user can have permission to see certain resources in a system, such as menu buttons, and authorization refers to what kind of views or actions a user can see in the application, such as what data can be seen under the menu and what actions can be performed. Kyushu Yunteng permission system supports ** authorization, minimizes the user's permission, and provides users with comprehensive and meticulous security guarantees. After the authorization capability is complicated, Kyushu Yunteng has sufficient experience to ensure the performance of batch authorization and high-frequency authentication for customers, such as querying the role and permissions of the account every time they log in or access, and determine whether they have the right to access or operate a resource. Achieve the perfect compromise between ease of use and flexibility.

Personnel changes, authority in a timely manner**

When an employee leaves, a role changes, or a user no longer needs a specific permission, timely access** can reduce security risks to your system or application. The permission system will also regularly review the permissions of all personnel in the enterprise and clean up the permissions that are no longer needed in a timely manner. This ensures that permissions are always aligned with the actual needs of the person and reduces the risk of permission abuse.

Rapid integration of application systems and unified control of permissions

Kyushu Yunteng has pre-integrated a large number of applications and provides standardized application integration protocols, which can quickly help enterprises integrate applications. Through the permission system of Kyushu Yunteng, the users of all application systems are uniformly authenticated and authorized for management. This eliminates the need for each application to implement authentication and authorization functions separately, improving development efficiency and security. Reasonable authority allocation and a sound authority management system are the keys for enterprises to ensure information security and grasp the lifeline of security. Enterprises need to take authority management seriously and establish a secure and controllable authority management system to escort the information security of enterprises.
