Abstract
Systems and/or methods that facilitate controlling access to memory regions in a memory component(s) are presented. A memory component can comprise an access management component that can facilitate controlling access to memory regions that can be respectively associated with authentication credentials. The access control component can facilitate access of a memory region when received authentication information matches authentication information contained in a security record associated with the memory region. The access management component can facilitate a wipe erase of a memory region(s) to facilitate secure removal of information from the memory region when predetermined criteria is satisfied. The access management component can facilitate locking a memory region when a maximum number of attempts to access a memory region are unsuccessful to facilitate security of the memory regions and/or data associated therewith, where a locked memory region remains locked until a reset is performed.
