Types of Access Control Systems

Access control systems can be broadly categorized into three types: discretionary access control (DAC), mandatory access control (MAC), and role-based access control (RBAC).

1. **Discretionary Access Control (DAC):** This system allows the owner of the protected system to set policies defining who can access specific resources. It's commonly used in environments where flexibility is required but can be less secure if not managed properly.

2. **Mandatory Access Control (MAC):** MAC is more rigid and secure, as it enforces strict policies where access permissions are centrally controlled. It is typically used in government and military settings where high security is paramount.

3. **Role-Based Access Control (RBAC):** RBAC assigns access based on the roles within an organization, making it easier to manage permissions as roles change. This is a popular choice for businesses looking to streamline their security processes.
