Abstract: 
In the contemporary digital landscape, safeguarding data through robust access control mechanisms is crucial. Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) is an effective strategy for managing access to backup and recovery systems, as well as storage devices. RBAC assigns permissions based on user roles, thereby enforcing the principle of least privilege and enhancing data security. This blog explores the significance of RBAC in these contexts and extends its relevance to ransomware and malware threats, as well as disaster recovery. Supported by scientific research and industry case studies, it underscores how RBAC can mitigate risks, ensure regulatory compliance, and improve data management practices.
