Attribute-Based Access Control with BrickStor
Elevate your data security to the next level
What is Attribute-Based Access Control?
Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC) is an access control method that transforms the way organizations safeguard critical information. It provides more robust security that significantly outperforms traditional static file permissions and ACLs by setting dynamic access rules based on:
- User attributes such as department or security clearance
- System attributes, like network location
- Other contextual factors like time of day, device type, and more
It’s a policy-driven approach that adapts in real time and leaves outdated, one-size-fits-all role models behind. BrickStor SP’s native ABAC support enables organizations to rapidly implement ABAC for their file shares, along with all the other security benefits included with BrickStor SP.
Why ABAC Matters
Granular Control – Each user’s data access privileges change based on who they are, what they do, and how they do it. This precision minimizes the risk of leaks or unauthorized access.
Adaptive Security – Security shouldn’t stand still. ABAC automatically adjusts access as conditions change – whether it’s a shift in user responsibilities or a network environment.
Regulatory Compliance – industry regulations like HIPAA, CMMC, or GDPR demand strict, traceable data controls. ABAC helps keep you compliant by enforcing systematic checks and policies that adapt to every scenario.
Future-Ready – As cybersecurity threats evolve, ABAC’s flexible ruleset ensures you can respond quickly without the hassle of rewriting entire access policies.
How BrickStor Delivers ABAC Excellence
Integrated Intelligence
BrickStor’s active defense works hand-in-hand with ABAC policies for immediate detection of malicious behavior.
Labeling & Classification
Label and classify each document for context-aware enforcement. BrickStor’s architecture does not limit the total number of markings and labels.
Policy-Based Management
The ABAC policy engine can be integrated with external databases and systems to immediately and dynamically enforce access for each user or application.
Military-Grade Encryption & Data Governance
With built-in encryption and data governance best practices, you can trust BrickStor to protect your most sensitive files without slowing you down.
