Abstract
In the second half of the 1970s, established computer firms and new IT start-ups chose alternative paths to offer commercial access control systems to organizational mainframe computer users. These developments in effect launched the computer security software products industry with IBM´s Resource Access Control Facility (RACF) and SKK´s Access Control Facility 2 (ACF2).
