Application access management is critical because it allows businesses greater control over their applications’ use. Unrestricted application access can be a significant security risk for companies, increasing the chance that malicious users will access sensitive data or perform illegal actions. Without this safeguard, it becomes easy for hackers to install and execute malware in the system. An application governance model can prevent this by limiting access to only pre-approved software and data. Such access can only be granted based on criteria like role or risk profile and can be easily revoked if suspicious activity is detected.
