Authentication and authorization

[sumaiyakhatun26]

Dimension: User authentication and role-based access control.
Why monitor: Proper authentication and authorization ensure that only authorized users can access certain resources or perform certain actions. Weak authentication can lead to unauthorized access.
How to monitor: Regularly test user authentication mechanisms (e.g., passwords, OAuth tokens) and review user roles and permissions defined in policies and gates. Use Laravel's built-in authentication and authorization features to effectively manage user access.
Session management
Parameter: Session management configuration (SESSION_DRIVER, SESSION_LIFETIME, india rcs data SESSION_SECURE_COOKIE).
Why Monitor: Secure session management prevents session hijacking and unauthorized access. Insecure session management can lead to compromise of user accounts.
How to monitor: Set the session driver to secure, configure the session duration appropriately, and enable SESSION_SECURE_COOKIE so that session cookies are only transmitted over secure HTTPS connections.
