Access Control Comparison Table

The document compares four access control models: DAC, MAC, RBAC, and ABAC, highlighting their features such as control type, flexibility, security level, policy complexity, scalability, and real-time examples. DAC offers high flexibility but low security, while MAC is rigid with high security, RBAC provides moderate flexibility and good scalability, and ABAC is highly flexible with very high security. Each model is best suited for different environments, with DAC for small systems, MAC for military and defense, RBAC for enterprises, and ABAC for cloud and healthcare applications.
