ABAC for Platforms

Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC) offers a flexible and dynamic approach to managing access control. It automatically adjusts to changes in users, resources, and the environment, enhancing security while simultaneously reducing operational costs when compared to other access control mechanisms (RBAC, ACLs, etc.).

However, integrating ABAC into traditional Information Systems, like applications and resource monitors, presents challenges. These systems often lack native support for ABAC, making it difficult for enterprises to adopt this model without significant modifications or replacements of their core information systems.

This solution facilitates the implementation of ABAC in existing systems without altering existing traditional information systems. Moreover, it is engineered to surpass the performance of systems that inherently integrate ABAC.

Key Components and Processes

Integration with Authoritative Sources: It securely connects with various sources to collect attributes related to users, objects, and the environment, forming a dependable Attribute Provider in ABAC architecture.
User-Friendly Interface for Business Users:The solution provides an easy-to-use interface, enabling business users to author and manage ABAC rules and policies effectively.
Translation of ABAC Rules into Native Access Control Constructs:It translates ABAC policies, defined by attributes, into access control constructs such as roles and groups, compatible with traditional Information Systems. This process is flexible, with translations happening in near-real-time or on a scheduled basis, based on business needs.
