Pääsynhallinta, often translated as access control, is a fundamental security concept concerning the regulation of who or what can view or use resources in a computing environment. It involves processes and policies that ensure only authorized individuals or systems can access sensitive data or perform specific actions. The primary goal of pääsynhallinta is to protect information and resources from unauthorized access, modification, or deletion, thereby maintaining confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Implementing effective pääsynhallinta typically involves several key components. Authentication is the process of verifying the identity of a user or system, often through passwords, biometrics, or multi-factor authentication. Once authenticated, authorization determines what actions an authenticated entity is permitted to perform. This is often managed through roles, permissions, or access control lists (ACLs). Access control models, such as the Discretionary Access Control (DAC), Mandatory Access Control (MAC), and Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), provide frameworks for defining and enforcing these permissions. Regular auditing and monitoring of access logs are also crucial for detecting and responding to potential security breaches and ensuring compliance with security policies. Pääsynhallinta is essential for protecting against internal and external threats and is a cornerstone of any robust cybersecurity strategy.
