R&D report: how to test access control before your IT inadvertently breaks

Presented at ToorCon San Diego 18 (2016), Oct. 16, 2016, 3:30 p.m. (20 minutes)

Many organizations opt to not implement tight-enough access control because they fear that they may restrict necessary access and cause harm or create inefficiencies. In this live-demo presentation, you will learn how to test your various access policies to ensure they do what they are supposed to do. Learn – and see in a live demo based on the results of an ongoing NIST SBIR R&D project – how to formally test that your access control policies do not break your IT – for various common access control mechanisms you probably have in your organization.
