Logical access control
Appearance
Logical access control refers to the collection of policies, procedures, organizational structure and electronic access controls designed to enable safe access to computer software and data files as well as to networking.
Logical access controls are tools used for identification, authentication, authorization, and accountability. They are components that enforce access control measures for systems, programs, processes, and information. The logical access controls can be embedded within operating systems, applications, add-on security packages, or database and telecommunication management systems.
