The Colonial Pipeline incident showed us just how devastating it can be when access to critical systems falls into the wrong hands. One powerful solution to this problem is Role-Based Access Control, or RBAC. At its core, RBAC ensures that people only have access to what they truly need to do their jobs—nothing more. It’s about putting guardrails in place to protect sensitive systems while still empowering teams to work efficiently. In this presentation, we’re going to explore how RBAC can be a game-changer for security, how it simplifies access management, and how it could have made a difference in preventing incidents like Colonial Pipeline.
