Access Control

Оглавление

There are three types of access control. These are physical access control, technical access control, and administrative access control. In a shared security model, the CSP and the customer have different responsibilities.

Physical access control refers to actual physical access to the servers and data centers where the data and processes of the cloud customer are stored. Physical access is entirely the responsibility of the CSP. The CSP owns the physical infrastructure and the facilities that house the infrastructure. Only they can provide physical security.

Administrative access control refers to the policies and procedures a company uses to regulate and monitor access. These policies include who can authorize access to a system, how system access is logged and monitored, and how frequently access is reviewed. The customer is responsible for determining policies and enforcing those policies as related to procedures for provisioning/deprovisioning user access and reviewing access approvals.

Technical access control is the primary area of shared responsibility. While the CSP is responsible for protecting the physical environment and the company is responsible for the creation and enforcement of policies, both the customer and the CSP share responsibilities for technical access controls.

For example, a CSP may be willing to federate with an organization's identity and access management (IAM) system. The CSP is then responsible for the integration of the IAM system, while the customer is responsible for the maintenance of the system. If a cloud IAM system is used (provided by the CSP or a third party), the customer is responsible for the provisioning and deprovisioning of users in the system and determining access levels and system authorizations while the CSP or third-party maintains the IAM system.

Logging system access and reviewing the logs for unusual activity can also be a shared responsibility, with the CSP or third-party IAM provider logging access and the customer reviewing the logs or with the CSP providing both services. Either choice requires coordination between the customer and the CSP. Access attempts can come from a variety of devices and locations throughout the world, making IAM an essential function.
