Access control policy template that unlocks effortless compliance and security

Access control often feels like the invisible shield keeping your company’s data safe until it’s not there, and suddenly you’re scrambling over a breach or an audit surprise. I’ve seen teams waste hours untangling who had access to what, especially when growing fast or juggling contractors.

How Modern Access Control Is Changing the Way We Secure Buildings

The way we manage who gets into a building has changed significantly over the past decade. Traditional lock-and-key systems are giving way to smarter, more flexible solutions that offer greater control and visibility. Understanding how these systems work can help organisations make better decisions about their security infrastructure.

RBAC vs CBAC: Key Differences, Benefits, and Which One Your Business Needs

When businesses grow, managing who can access what becomes serious business. One wrong access permission can lead to data leaks, compliance penalties, or financial damage. In fact, IBM’s Cost of a Data Breach Report 2024 found that the average global data breach cost reached $4.88 million, the highest ever recorded. These numbers necessitate the requirement of having strong access control in place.

Endpoint management system breach: why privileged access management (PAM) is now critical

Endpoint management system breaches stem from compromised privileged access, not unpatched vulnerabilities. Attackers use legitimate credentials to operate undetected within trusted workflows, bypassing traditional controls. Eliminating standing privilege with just-in-time access and enforcing least privilege reduces attack paths, while identity threat detection and response ensures misuse of valid access is identified and contained in real time.

Understanding access control systems and security management

Access control systems and security management are crucial components in safeguarding assets, information, and people within an organization. These systems help in regulating who can view or use resources in a computing environment. Effective security management ensures that the right individuals have access to the right resources at the right times for the right reasons. This blog post explores the essential aspects of access control systems and the importance of robust security management practices.

Access control in cybersecurity

Access control defines who can access data and systems across an IT environment and under what conditions. Common models include DAC, MAC, RBAC, and ABAC, each supporting different governance and risk requirements. Strong access control depends on MFA, least-privilege enforcement, continuous audits, and clear visibility into sensitive data.

Identity & Access Management (IAM) Metrics Every CISO Must Track in 2026

Consider a common scenario: Your organization has allocated millions toward firewalls, endpoint protection, and advanced threat detection systems. Your security operations team maintains continuous monitoring through sophisticated dashboards. Yet, despite these comprehensive defenses, an attacker can gain unauthorized access using nothing more than compromised credentials and a hijacked service account. This is where identity and access management metrics play a key role.

Securing OT Access with Identity and Visibility: Kroll, Saviynt and Nozomi Networks

Industrial organizations face a new era of risk. As operational technology (OT) environments become more connected, the challenge of securing access and maintaining visibility continues to grow. In response, Kroll, Saviynt, Nozomi Networks and CrowdStrike have joined forces to deliver a unified solution that empowers organizations to protect their critical infrastructure without disrupting operations.

2026 SIA Megatrends - AI is Eating Software

Like many in our industry, we wrapped up 2025 by digging into the Security Industry Association’s (SIA) annual megatrends report. Rather than just another predictions list, the 2026 SIA Security Megatrends report offers a strategic roadmap from industry trailblazers who have mapped out the specific shifts in physical security trends we can expect in 2026. As we enter the early days of a fresh year, we sat down with Brivo Founder and President Steve Van Till, who had a hand in shaping this year's topics, to get his insider take on the findings.
