Reply To: OCU C)SP D Week 04 Lesson 08 Discussion

Hi Teisha,

I really like how you explained the importance of access controls in the electric utility field. You made it clear that protecting critical systems and customer data is not just about cybersecurity but also about keeping people safe and the power running smoothly. I think it’s great that you pointed out the difference between keeping people out and letting the right people in. That shows a real understanding of how access control supports both security and productivity.

Your example about different employees having access to only what they need makes perfect sense. It shows how role-based access and multi-factor authentication can prevent mistakes and protect sensitive systems. I also agree that in your industry, a security breach could have serious effects beyond just data loss—it could impact safety and customer trust.
