The Importance Of Access Control In Cybersecurity

Cyberattacks can expose sensitive information about employees, customers, and financial assets. Protecting these assets through access control can reduce a business’s risk of a data breach and the impact of one in the event of a cyberattack. Physical and logical access control systems work to limit who can access what information. This helps mitigate the risk of lateral movement within an organization, a common tactic for attackers.
