What is Access Discovery in cyber security?
Identifying and documenting all access rights within a system or network.
Access discovery is the process of identifying and documenting all access rights within a system or network. It involves analyzing who has access to what resources, including files, applications, and systems. Access discovery helps organizations understand their access landscape, identify potential security risks, and ensure compliance with access control policies. By mapping out access rights, organizations can better manage permissions, detect anomalies, and enforce least privilege principles to enhance security.
