Enterprises have been using a patchwork approach for access control, leading to complexity and visibility gaps.Unified Access Control (UAC) is emerging as a cloud-native solution to simplify security and compliance.Challenges include managing disparate tools like RADIUS, NAC, TACACS+, Conditional Access, and ZTNA.UAC enhances security by centralizing policy management for network, infrastructure, and application access.It improves compliance by providing centralized logging and reporting capabilities for audit trails.UAC eliminates blind spots by offering end-to-end visibility across all access points.Cloud-native UAC solutions offer agility, scalability, and interoperability benefits.Moving access control to the cloud allows organizations to focus on protecting users and data efficiently.Unified Access Control streamlines security stack, policy enforcement, and access visibility.The future of access control lies in unification rather than adding more disparate tools.
