Security Architecture
Overview
This section provides an overview of the security measures implemented in the infrastructure to protect against unauthorized access and data breaches.
Access Control
- Authentication: Verification of users' identities to grant access to resources.
- Authorization: Control of user permissions and privileges based on their roles and responsibilities.
- Encryption: Protection of data by converting it into a format that can only be read by authorized parties.
Security Mechanisms
- Firewalls: Network security devices that monitor and control incoming and outgoing traffic based on predetermined security rules.
- Intrusion Detection/Prevention Systems (IDPS): Tools that monitor network traffic for suspicious activities and take action to prevent security breaches.
- Vulnerability Management: Processes for identifying, prioritizing, and remedying security vulnerabilities in the infrastructure.
Compliance and Governance
- Regulatory Compliance: Adherence to industry standards and regulations (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA) to protect sensitive data and ensure privacy.
- Security Governance: Frameworks and policies for managing security risks and ensuring compliance with security requirements.
