What is RBAC?
Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) is a security principle and framework for controlling user access based on roles within an organization. RBAC enables granular access management by linking permissions to specific roles that are then assigned to users or groups. From a cybersecurity perspective, RBAC is a key component for implementing the principle of least privilege, segmenting access, and reducing the risk of unauthorized access to sensitive resources and data.
Think of RBAC as a key system in a hotel. Instead of giving all employees master keys, each employee only receives keys to the areas they need access to based on their role. Housekeeping staff get access to rooms but not the kitchen, while kitchen staff get access to the kitchen but not offices. This limits potential damage from compromised accounts and makes it easier to manage access when employees change roles.
Sicra and RBAC
Sicra has extensive experience designing and implementing RBAC solutions in complex IT environments. We help customers map role and access requirements, design well-structured RBAC models, and implement these across platforms and systems. This includes RBAC in cloud environments such as Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud, as well as in on-premises systems and applications. Our approach ensures effective access control that both meets operational needs and maintains a strong security posture.
