Just-In-Time (JIT) access is a security protocol that minimizes the amount of time a user, system, or application has unlimited access to certain features or resources. It refers to providing the permissions, access, or privileges only when they are directly needed and revoking them immediately after. This model helps to reduce the risk of unauthorized access and potential security breaches.
1. Enhanced Security through Least Privilege Access: Just in time access in Asset Sonar ensures that users only have the level of access they need, when they need it, reducing the risk of unauthorized access or asset misuse. This practice closely aligns with the principle of least privilege access, thereby safeguarding critical assets and minimizing potential avenues for security breaches.
2. Mitigation of Insider Threats and Human Errors: Just in time privilege escalation drastically lowers the possibility of insider threats and human errors by restricting access privileges to necessary usage periods only. Asset Sonar's method of dynamic access management makes the system less vulnerable to internal risks, creating a safer and more secure asset environment.
3. Boost in Operational Efficiency: The application of just in time access and privilege escalation significantly streamlines asset management processes. By granting access to resources exactly when needed, Asset Sonar eliminates unnecessary access and simplifies the task of managing user permissions, enhancing overall operational efficiency.
4. Simplified Auditing for Compliance: Just in time access and privilege escalation make audits easier, as all access to assets is time-bounded and can be easily traced. This feature of Asset Sonar simplifies the task of demonstrating compliance with various IT regulations and standards, providing a clear audit trail and reducing the resources required for extensive compliance checks.
1. Updating Inventory: If a company wants to do a quick inventory update or conduct regular checks on their assets, they can give just-in-time admin access to relevant personnel who can then update and verify the status of the assets without having sabotage access.
2. Debugging: If there is an issue or bug that needs to be fixed in the Asset Sonar system and the in-house IT team cannot solve it, admin access can be granted to a third-party IT expert or the software's support team for a limited period to fix the problem.
3. Role-Based Changes: If a user needs to temporarily perform the functions of an admin due to the absence of the regular admin, JIT admin access can be granted, so that employee can fulfill responsibilities such as adding/removing assets, users, or adjusting system settings.
1. Planning.
2. Execution.
3. Maintenance.
By adopting this structured approach, you'll be able to effectively implement a robust Just-in-Time Access system for Asset Sonar.
Entitle provides self-serve access requests, flexible policy workflows, and automated provisioning, to restrict unneeded access across cloud infra and SaaS.
"I like Entitle because it’s one of those tools I can set up and forget about. I never have to go into it and it just works."
