When it comes to security, it is important to understand that applications following the AAA standard will take care of many challenges that enterprises face.
The AAA standard deals with:
- Authentication
- Authorization
- Auditing
Authentication makes sure that the identity of the user is properly validated.
Authorization further controls whether a given user is allowed to access certain resources or not, as per company policies.
Auditing makes sure that all attempts to access and use the resources are tracked—this can also be used in case of any investigation, and provide proper accounting and billing (if needed).
By following these best practices, we can be sure that things run smoothly on a large scale.
