• Access control: This involves implementing controls to ensure that only authorized users and devices are allowed to access the organization's systems and data, and to limit their access to the resources that they’re authorized to use.
• Identity and access management: This involves implementing controls to manage and secure the identities of users and devices, and to ensure that they’re properly authenticated and authorized to access the organization's systems and data.
• Security monitoring: This involves continuously monitoring the organization's networks and systems for signs of potential threats or attacks, and taking appropriate action to respond to them.
