Unit 3 Discussion 1: Access Control Models
10/01/2013
Scenario 1: (DAC) Discretionary Access Control. Being that the business is small and not in need of higher security measures, it would be the easiest to maintain and monitor for a small business.
Scenario 2: (MAC) Mandatory Access Control. The employees primarily communicate using smartphones; which proves as a possible security risk. MAC is stronger than DAC but, still easily monitored for a small business; which makes this the top choice for Top Ads.
Scenario 3: (RBAC) Role Based Access Control. With the company being as large as it is and the employees traveling and/or working from home, the roles set by a Security Administrator would be the most secure and efficient way of providing different levels of clearance to individual users. It would take time to start from nothing but, once the security measures are in place it would be easy to monitor and to manage.
Scenario 4: Content-Dependent Access Control. Since everything that the company does depends on the individual material being manufactured the above Access Control type should be apparent. Giving permissions by what is contained in each individual file is more costly but, a lot more secure. It also allows the company to monitor the data sent less as each document is given its own set of roles.
Scenario 5: (RBAC) Role Based Access Control. With RBAC in place the security measures would be assigned to each user and monitored by the security administrator(s). Using this Access control method would allow for high-grade security with manageability in mind. Allowing each user a set of permissions dependent on their group, or role, allows the system admin to more easily monitor security by group; which is perfect for a military network.
