One of the most difficult problems in managing a large network is the complexity of security administration. The deployment of individual security products such as firewalls, intrusion detection systems, network traffic analysis, log file analysis, or antivirus software is never going to provide adequate protection for computers that are connected to the internet.

A more coordinated approach is needed to ensure that an organisation retains data integrity and security. A popular approach is to deploy the 'onion' technique whereby multiple, overlapping layers of security are used to protect a network or computer. Using this technique, a system or network will have much more resilience from attacks.
One of the essential tools in hardening a computer system or network is to use access controls such as Mandatory Access Control (MAC) or Role-Based Access Control (RBAC). These controls include authentication, authorisation and audit.
To provide an insight into the open source software that is available, we have compiled a list of 6 capable MAC/RBAC tools. Hopefully, there will be something of interest here for anyone who wants a multi-layered detection, prevention, and containment model.
