Next Generation Access Control

© Axiomatics 2016 2

Access Control is as easy as in the Middle Ages

Only 2 options: •  Store data safely & •  control access

•  Make data unusable


But internal and external requirements makes the picture much more complex …..

And the outside world where data is used ….. has changed How ?

Collaboration

Regulatory Compliance and Governance

New business & mobile-driven interactions

Time-to-market


1) Diligent 24 x 7 cyber crime professionals around

•  Ransome ware for bitcoins •  Advanced Persistent Threat •  Spearfishing •  National surveillance breaches

Night and day working on their Continuing Professional Education


2) Population of computer users has changed

Expert engineers But also •  Your grandma •  Your todler •  Your malware •  Your fridge •  ……… Everyone is a user With digital identity


3) Identity ontology for every individual

My ID as a…. Customer Supplier Partner Private user Administrator Anonymous user Machine Fraudster, mule

Identity Federation E-ID E-Citizenship Mobil-ID Bank-ID …….


4) Rapid evolving usability requirements – “seven any”

Any one Any time Any where Any device Any networg Any app

Across any value chain Easy and fast


5) Purpose of data use has changed Internet of Things E-Municipality E-Government Smart cities Mobility Environment Commodities Medical Safety Living Drone delivery Robot distribution Physical surveillance


6) Globalisation & data correlation Connectivity across Datasets Applications “Things” Value chains Companies Continents Jurisdictions Platforms Devices Clouds API´s interoperability


7) Big data analytics Visual data discovery Automated decision-making 70% of large organizations Purchase external data 100% by 2019 (Forbes) 180.000 data analysts in US 2018 E.g. fraud detection Well combined with physical security tools This requires Access Management BaaS = Back-end of IoT as a service


8) Increased control, legislation & regulation

Data protection - GDPR 1)  Consistency across European Union

1)  One-stop-shop for citizens and business 2)  Scope: service providers outside Europe delivering EU services 3)  Right to be forgotten-Right to erasure:

1)  “Privacy by design” & “privacy by default” 2)  Right to be forgotten also applicable to third parties

4)  Notification of breach mandatory 1)  High fines

5)  Payment Services Directive II 1)  Mandatory to share customers profiles and data with 3rd parties 2)  On request (with customers consent & still adhering to the 3)  data protecting regulation)


Responding to all trends with old school static IAM ?

Transaction request

Authorisation Entitlements For the ID

Assets +

data

authentication Identity

+ properties

Password Token PIN Biometric Multifactor Behaviour

By 2020, 70 percent of enterprises will use ABAC as

the dominant mechanism to protect critical assets

“

70% ”

Gartner, 2013

NO ! - Dynamic and fine-grained IAM on data level required


Application access = OUT Services, Big data, Federation = IN

Access control on application level falls short RBAC is too static Security is required on the level of datasets, data subject Data Centric Security Attibute Based Access Control

Transaction request


Every single transaction request…

The only thing persistent is The request for a transaction

(with all its relevant properties)


deserves an individual VIP treatment

Access decision engine” • real time • context aware • rule based • customised • flexible • fine-grained access decisions


⁃  Policies to protect assets / IP ⁃  Policies to prevent fraud ⁃  Policies to comply with external regulations ⁃  Policies to be more efficient ⁃  Policies to enable new business

⁃  CEOs, CIOs, CISOs, CDOs and other CXOs have responsibilities to define and implement these policies

⁃  Security and compliance are board-level issues: requires key policies in place to protect the Enterprise’s interests, IP and to safeguard their investments

Modern Enterprises need to be policy-driven


⁃  Modern dynamic enterprises need modern dynamic authorization models to meet requirements for ease of change and centralization

⁃  Authorizations to… ⁃  Protect sensitive data ⁃  Protect critical assets ⁃  Protect critical transactions

Attribute Based Access Control is the new dynamic model

Access Policies


Security everywhere Centralized Rules Management

Data Layer

Service Layer

Process layer

Presentation Layer

Distributed rules enforcement


Finegrained context aware access mmnt - building blocks

user profile database

identity federation trust level framework

framework to manage interaction of rule sets e.g conflicting rules, hierarchy, veto, ownership

rulesets in rule engines


Attribute Based Access Control “Context Based”, or “Rule Based” Access Control: • Fine-grained • Additional authentication if reqiured (“step-up”) • Flexible – Easy access if possible, complex when required • Configuration of rules in IAM: short time-to-market (not programmed in applications) • Risk level on dataset or transaction • Trustlevel on authentication context • Immediate intervention in case of compromise (trustlevel attribute) • From RBAC to ABAC or hybrid (role is also a rule!)


Attribute-Based Access Control A context-aware and dynamic authorization model

Who? What? When? Where? Why? How?


GDPR or PSD-2 is a opportunity to start using ABAC ⁃  DPR – GDPR requires changes in your rule and policy

governance ⁃  By using ABAC you don´t have to rework your rule and policy

governance in every application when changes are applied ⁃  You can include the Business in the process by using Business

processes when creating new policys


Compared to legacy RBAC models…

⁃  Permissions assigned to roles

⁃  Roles assigned to users

⁃  Applications handle access

control intentionally


Using ABAC to extend role definitions

⁃  ABAC uses attributes and policies to implement precise controls

⁃  ABAC extends roles with ⁃  Context and ⁃  Relationships

⁃  ABAC utilizes attributes of the user as well as the resource to represent relationships
