The Importance of User Access Control (UAC)  

The Importance of User Access Control (UAC)  

In today’s digital landscape, protecting sensitive data is paramount. User Access Control (UAC) is essential for securing your business by ensuring that only authorized personnel have access to specific systems and data. A rigorous UAC solution helps to: 

- Prevent Data Breaches: Limit access to critical information and reduce the risk of unauthorized data exposure. 

- Enhance Compliance: Meet industry standards and regulatory requirements with stringent access controls. 

- Improve Accountability: Track user activity and maintain detailed logs for audit purposes. 

- Minimize Insider Threats: Restrict access based on job roles to prevent internal misuse. 

If your Managed Service Provider (MSP) doesn't offer a robust UAC solution, it might be time to reconsider. Protect your business with the right MSP partner who prioritizes your security.

Umm, are y'all ok???

I just want to say that it feels a bit unfair (read: weird as fuck) that people are uncomfortable or feel that Andy only deserves a 'platonic bond'. And this isn't just me assuming but based on me scrolling through Tumblr—specifically the Alien: Romulus tag—and seeing plenty of Tyler, Rain, Bjorn, hell, even damn Xenomorph yandere/romance/smut stories but zilch for Andy.

I even received an ask telling me that I shouldn't continue writing Andy as a love interest but instead to make it a 'platonic' familia one. And all I can say to that person: please go to hell. It's wild that the audacity was even implied.

As far as I know, I'm the only one writing Alien: Romulus content that showcases Andy in a romantic light, and I plan to continue doing so. He deserves to be seen as a versatile android—whether that be a yandere one who loves the MC or a sweet soulmate that's always there—just like the other androids in the Alien franchise receive. *cough* Walter *cough*.

I don't know, sorry for going off on a tangent, but this is something I just needed to get off my chest. I'm practically filled with butterflies at the opportunity to create such a love story for a character that swept so many, like myself, off their feet. Andy is perfect and he will continue to receive stories from me until a bunch of people can get it into their thick skulls that he deserves to be thirsted after just like the rest of the cast…

At the end of the day, my version of Andy is staying romantic, yandere, or whatever I see fit and if you don't like that, please do your part and create more stories centering him in the vision you'd like to read/see...

Reefer Madness Lives

This is not such a hot paper, and the peer review process where it was published is not so hot either. Peer review in general is... Let's be charitable and say it's more for money and prestige than scientific rigor. But, just for basic integrity, you need to operate with a double-blind. CMAJ is single-blind, so their reviewers know if they're up against anyone famous or well-connected who might bring them a lot of attention. And their primary criteria is "importance and novelty." Less delicately, if it looks like it will get a lot of clicks and cites, they'll be pleased to publish it. This is not all that out-of-the-ordinary for science journals, and that's kinda bad.

But a paper saying that pot is gonna poison your children and give people schizophrenia will get a shitton of clicks and cites. It's the number one trending story on CBC right now! And there are live comments!

I need CBD and THC to deal with my PTSD and sleep problems. It's possible that, after being under-treated for decades, I will eventually deal with my underlying health issues enough to sleep unassisted, but I ain't there yet. And ya know what makes it really hard to make it to go to doctor's appointments and get care? Not being able to sleep!

I had a medical marijuana card before, and I could probably qualify for one again if I had to. But A) Do you really want me taking up a doctor's time for this when there aren't enough doctors for everyone right now? and B) Legalized recreational use keeps availability convenient, variety and quality-control reasonable, and prices low. If you are going to inflict capitalism on me, don't kneecap what little benefit a free market is able to provide.

Now, we don't want to get people high without their consent, and children cannot consent to getting high (although some of them do need cannabis products for medical reasons), so for fuck's sake store your shit carefully if you've got kids. But "cannabis poisoning" as they put it, means, "I feel awful and maybe I threw up but I won't die, even if I'm super paranoid and feel like I might." Most people who wind up in the hospital are adults screwing around with edibles who don't know what to expect, and all they need is a nice, patient friend who'll tell them they're fine. This "poison" doesn't kill people. Unlike, say, antifreeze, or children's Tylenol. (Although, I hear Willie Nelson's friend had a bale of pot fall on him one time, so it's not as safe as they say!)

And the schizophrenia thing... People with mental health issues self-select for these studies by choosing to self-medicate. You might also say cannabis use has a strong correlation with PTSD flashbacks - because people with PTSD know it helps and they freaking well try it, and sometimes they still have flashbacks. A psychedelic is not the best choice for schizophrenia, god no, but if you're having associated depression and sleep issues and you haven't been diagnosed yet, you might give it a try. Better mental healthcare and better, earlier diagnoses and treatment will address this issue more effectively than yet another moral panic.

But a certain portion of the population is really invested in "drugs are bad" and "drug users are addicts and addicts are bad" narrative. Like, literally invested. It keeps them in political power and gets money for studies like this and "public health" campaigns that are really thinly-veiled, outdated DARE propaganda.

Even this study, which specifically excluded medical marijuana use, found social benefits to not criminalizing drug use and drug users. No shit. People don't get addicted to something because addiction is fun; they have severe, unaddressed problems and they're doing whatever they can to cope with them, whether that's staying stoned all the time or blowing their retirement fund on Funko Pops. And most people who use drugs don't get addicted. (Also most people who buy Funko Pops, one assumes.) Removing them from society and giving them all criminal records doesn't help anyone.

Harm reduction should be the goal here, as in most things. You will never get it perfect, but you need to take steps towards improving the general situation as much as possible. Sending the War on Drugs (really, the War on Your Own Population) into extra innings after decades of failure is... Ha-ha, well, it's self-destructive addict behaviour, y'all. Maybe you could use some social services to help you deal with your problems in a better way.

just saw a tiktok where the person goes "someone said that when you dream you should try asking the people in the dream what day it is, i remembered that last time when i was dreaming so i did it"

this is really just an entire social media platform dedicated to making shit up huh

[phayz]

sure, let me just not use my smart phone.

now i am unable to receive calls from my doctor. i am unable to pickup my medication. i am unable to log in to google and many other online browsers, accounts, etc, because i lack the ability to confirm my identity through 2FA. i am unable to hand out resumés now, because employers are turned off by the fact that they cannot call me, and i am unable to stay in touch with my coworkers through social chat apps. (i know email exists but i cant name one thing ive seen that still uses group email chains anymore). without my phone i am unable to access emergency services in times of crisis, i am unable to access the money in my bank account, i am unable to contact my family quickly, and so so so much more. I am basically unable to fucking live, unless i lived in some fantasy world where i was able to always be at home near my landline (dont have one), or near an operaple payphone in public (rare) with change in my pocket (rare).

you have no idea how badly i wish it was possible to live in today's age without a phone in my pocket. thats what the point of this whole post was about. im tired of needing to use my phone for everything. But so many functions of our society require an active phone number or at least a charged smart phone (usually requiring a connection to wifi or data) for you to be able to access even the most basic of services in everyday life.

unfortunately this isnt an enslavement you can just "opt out of" when all other options are being eradicated.

theres bikes around the city you can rent but you have to use an app that needs your drivers license. theres buses that drive right to your destination, but if you dont have change you need the app. you can wash your car here if you sign into the app. you can go to the bathroom here you just have to unlock it with the app that needs your location on. you can order at this restaurant if you scan the code and download the app. im losing my freaking mind

User Access Management: An Ultimate Guide

User Access Management (UAM) is a vital component of information security that controls who has access to what resources within an organization. By defining, managing, and monitoring user access permissions, UAM ensures that only authorized personnel can access sensitive data and systems, reducing the risk of data breaches and unauthorized activity. In this guide, we’ll cover the basics of UAM, its benefits, and best practices for implementing a robust user access management system.

What is User Access Management?

User Access Management is the process of granting, monitoring, and restricting user access to various digital resources within an organization. It includes setting up policies and procedures that determine which users have access to specific systems, applications, and data, and at what level. UAM is essential for maintaining data integrity and protecting sensitive information, as it helps enforce the principle of “least privilege,” where users are granted only the access they need to perform their job functions.

Why is User Access Management Important?

UAM plays a critical role in strengthening an organization’s security posture. Effective UAM helps:

Reduce Risk of Unauthorized Access: By limiting access rights to only those who need them, UAM minimizes the potential for unauthorized access and insider threats.

Ensure Compliance: Many regulations, such as GDPR, HIPAA, and SOC 2, mandate strict access control measures. A well-implemented UAM system helps organizations meet these compliance requirements, reducing the risk of fines and penalties.

Streamline Onboarding and Offboarding: UAM facilitates quick access provisioning for new employees and access revocation for departing employees, ensuring continuity and security.

Key Components of User Access Management

A successful UAM framework relies on various components working together. Here are the primary elements:

User Authentication and Authorization: Authentication verifies a user’s identity, often through passwords, biometrics, or multi-factor authentication (MFA). Authorization then determines what resources the authenticated user can access.

Access Control Policies: Access control policies define how access permissions are assigned. A popular method is role-based access control (RBAC), which grants access according to a user’s role within the company. There’s also attribute-based access control (ABAC), which grants access based on characteristics like location, time, or device used.

Access Review and Auditing: Regular access reviews are necessary to ensure that users still need the permissions they have been granted. Auditing provides an additional layer by tracking user activities to detect and respond to any unusual or unauthorized access attempts.

Identity Lifecycle Management: This involves managing user access from the time they join the organization to when they leave. Lifecycle management includes provisioning access, modifying permissions based on role changes, and revoking access for terminated employees.

Best Practices for Implementing User Access Management

Implementing UAM effectively requires a strategic approach. Consider the following best practices:

Apply the Principle of Least Privilege: Grant users only the minimum access required to perform their roles. This reduces the potential for accidental or malicious data exposure.

Use Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): Adding layers of authentication improves security, especially for accessing sensitive systems.

Regularly Review and Update Access Permissions: Conduct regular audits to ensure that access permissions align with current job responsibilities.

Automate UAM Processes: Automation can streamline access provisioning, modification, and revocation, reducing human error and speeding up processes.

Educate Employees on Security Policies: User awareness training can help prevent unauthorized access attempts and phishing attacks.

Conclusion

User Access Management is essential for protecting sensitive data and ensuring secure access to organizational resources. By implementing effective UAM strategies, companies can safeguard their information, meet regulatory requirements, and minimize the risk of data breaches.
