Context-Based Access Control for Zero Trust
January 22, 2025
Today, Zero Trust aims to remove all trust and assumptions from access decisions. To align with Zero Trust principles, teams should evaluate each access request based on risk and approve each request based on evidence. This is known as Context-Based Access Control (CBAC). CBAC enhances security by making real-time, risk-based access decisions using dynamic signals. These signals can include user behavior, device health, location, network conditions, and more.
