How can knowledge bases be secured?

User Criteria and Domain Separation are pivotal in securing knowledge bases as they control access to sensitive information. User Criteria allow organizations to define permissions based on roles, ensuring that users can only access the data that they are authorized to see. This minimizes the risk of unauthorized access or data breaches by restricting visibility to sensitive content.

Domain Separation further enhances security by isolating data and processes relevant to different groups or departments within an organization. This means that even if users have access to the same system, their visibility and interaction with the knowledge base are limited to designated areas, which bolsters data integrity and confidentiality.

While data encryption and backups are essential for protecting data at rest and ensuring recovery in case of loss or corruption, they do not directly manage user access to the knowledge base. Similarly, physical security measures and automated monitoring tools address broader aspects of security but do not specifically focus on controlling user access within the knowledge base environment. Hence, employing User Criteria and Domain Separation is a focused approach to securing knowledge bases effectively.
