    🔐 "Security is a process, not a product." 🎯 Zero Trust Model – Always verify, never trust. Restrict access based on identity and context. 🎯 Regular Access Reviews – Audit permissions frequently and remove unnecessary access. 🎯 Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) – Enforce MFA to prevent unauthorized access. 🎯 Just-in-Time (JIT) Access – Grant temporary, time-limited permissions instead of persistent access. 🎯 Automated Monitoring – Use AI-driven tools to detect and flag suspicious access behavior.

    Keeping access controls secure requires continuous assessment, automation, and adherence to best practices. Regularly audit permissions using role-based access control (RBAC) and the principle of least privilege (PoLP) to prevent excessive access. Implement automated reviews to detect inactive or over-privileged accounts. Enforce Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and adaptive access policies based on risk factors. Monitor and log access attempts using AI-driven security tools to identify anomalies. Stay updated on compliance regulations and adjust policies accordingly. Proactive and automated measures ensure access controls remain effective against evolving threats.

    To ensure they stay secure, you need to first make sure that you regularly update it anyway. This is to ensure that your network's security isn't at risk even if the update isn't important at that moment. You must also make sure that you implement strict measures such multi-factor authentication. This is to ensure that only authorized users have access to the network. You must also make sure that you monitor all of network's activities. This is to help you spot a cyber threat and so that you can prevent it at the first instance.
