Can you give me examples of attributes I should consider?

Sure! Common attributes include user roles, resource types, environmental conditions (like time of access), and user location.

How often should I review my ABAC policies?

It's recommended to review your ABAC policies at least annually, or whenever there are significant changes in your organization or its resources.

What tools can help me implement ABAC?

There are several tools available, such as AWS IAM, Azure Active Directory, and open-source solutions like Apache Ranger that can help implement ABAC.

Are there any compliance standards I should be aware of?

Yes, compliance standards like GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS often have specific requirements regarding access control that you should consider when implementing ABAC.
