Introduction

The ACaaS denotes as Access Control as a Service which applies Software as a Service technology and is a cloud based technology. This system controls and prevents the access of unauthorised entry and enables company management to set limitation on premises staff approaches to depending on their role within the company. To simplify more ACaaS is a fundamental component of data security that tells who is allowed to access and use the company’s information and resource. Through authentication and authorisation the policies of access control assure whether the person having access to date is an authorised person or not.

Working of ACaaS Access Control as a Service

ACaaS works in a particular way by verifying the users through their login credentials that have names and passwords, unique PIN numbers, biometric scans & security tokens. Many access controls systems are embedded with multifactor authentication. Once the process of authentication is complete access control then authorizes appropriate level of access.

Following are four main types of ACaaS

Discretionary access control (DAC)

This is method where the administrator of the protected data or resource assigns policies for user access.

Mandatory access control (MAC)

This is method where the data is sensitive and confidential and the access to such resource is limited on the level of sensitivity.

Role-based access control (RBAC)

This control limits the access based on an individual’s position within particular organisation and is the main method for advanced access control.

Attribute-based access control (ABAC)

In this dynamic method, access is based on set of features and environmental conditions such as time of day, location which is assigned to user as well as resource.

Organizations worry that without rigorous access control policy there might be data loss from external and internal sources. Access control is predominantly important for organisation with hybrid, cloud, multi-cloud environs where data, resources or apps exist in on both premises and in cloud. Access control offers vigorous security control.

Benefits of ACaaS

In comparison to traditional access control AcaaS has numerous advantages
