Assessment Instructions
Instructions Access controls and authentication systems are some of the most ubiquitous of all information security controls. Too often these controls still hinge on poorly implemented and managed password strategies.
However, a wide array of technologies and tools is available to organizations seeking to secure their information assets. As governments create more regulations and organizations experience larger and more widely publicized breaches of personal data, these organizations may more frequently turn to additional layers of controls to supplement traditional access and authentication strategies.
