An organization utilizes a centralized system to manage access requests to sensitive information. Upon receiving an access request, the system checks against defined policies to determine whether the access should be granted. What is this system component called?
The component described is known as a Policy Decision Point (PDP), which evaluates access requests based on pre-defined rules. It contrasts with a Policy Enforcement Point (PEP), which implements the decisions made by the PDP. Other options like 'access control list' are more specific mechanisms for restricting access but do not represent the decision-making process.
