Use case
ABC Constructions is a construction company owned by a corporation. The employees of this construction company should be able to access only the applications that are necessary for their role. Corporate has been looking for an option to restrict these users from accessing other applications.

Security Policies
Security policies are a set of customizable rules that govern how users can authenticate themselves. They consist of four components:
Password policy: This component dictates how strong the users' passwords must be and how often they have to be renewed.
MFA: Using this component, the user can decide which multi-factor authentication modes to use.
Allowed IPs: This component dictates which IP addresses the user can use to sign in. Any sign-in requests from IPs that aren't allowed will be denied.
Session management: This component dictates how many active sessions a user can have, and for how long.
