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.

Remediate transitive vulnerabilities faster with Datadog Software Composition Analysis

Security teams are responsible for finding and remediating vulnerable dependencies within applications that are built from large ecosystems of frameworks, SDKs, and utilities. What makes this task especially challenging is that these dependencies can pull in dozens or even hundreds of transitive dependencies through complex dependency chains. Even when scanners identify what’s vulnerable, teams still often lack the information they need about the dependency chain to safely address the issue.

GrayZone Platform
