Context-Based Access Control (CBAC)
Context-Based Access Control (CBAC) is an access management model that evaluates access requests based on real-time context factors such as location, time, device, network, and user behavior. Unlike RBAC, which relies on predefined roles, CBAC dynamically adapts permissions based on risk assessment. Key elements include context evaluation, dynamic policies, and risk-based decisions. CBAC enhances security, aligns with Zero Trust principles, and improves user experience by adjusting access levels based on situational factors. In Keycloak, CBAC is implemented through JavaScript-based policies, authentication context (ACR), and external risk analysis integrations, enabling adaptive security policies.Trendig glossary trems
