Just-In-Time (JIT) access is a security measure aimed at minimizing unauthorized access to sensitive data and systems by granting permissions only for the time they are needed. It dynamically provides privileged access to applications, servers, and databases when required, and removes it as soon as the task is completed. This approach helps to reduce vulnerabilities associated with standing privileges, and helps in preventing data breaches.
1. Enhanced Operational Efficiency: By using just in time (JIT) access and JIT privilege escalation, Calendly can significantly streamline its operational processes by granting exclusive, temporary access to certain tools or data only when required. This minimizes the potential for unutilized resources and optimizes efficiency by eliminating unnecessary permissions and reducing complexity.
2. Strengthened Least Privilege Access: This practice offers a higher degree of control in adhering to the least privilege access principle, as users are permitted to perform only specific actions for delimited time periods. This way, Calendly can mitigate the risk of sensitive data exposure and maintain control over who has access to what, perpetuating robust cybersecurity and data integrity.
3. Reduction in Insider Threats & Human errors: JIT access and JIT privilege escalation allow Calendly to limit broad and permanent permissions, thus minimizing the potential for unintentional errors and reducing the risk of insider threats. As the privilege is escalated only when needed, it reduces the likelihood of privileged accounts being compromised inadvertently by users or malicious insiders.
4. Simplified Auditing for Compliance: With JIT access and JIT privilege escalation, organizations can maintain a comprehensive log of who accessed what resources and when, resulting in an easier, more structured auditing process. It helps Calendly ensure adherence to compliance regulations related to data privacy and secure access, like GDPR and ISO 27001, by enabling clean, well-documented audit trails.
1. Delegation of Scheduling Tasks: During high-demand periods or vacations, an administrator can delegate scheduling tasks to other team members by providing them with just in time admin access to Calendly.
2. Emergency Situations: In case of technical issues or data breaches, just in time admin access can be provided to IT specialists to ensure priority investigation and resolution.
3. Training and Onboarding: Just in time admin access can be used during the onboarding process to train new staff members on how to manage and schedule appointments, then revoke their admin privileges once training is completed.
1. Planning.
2. Execution.
3. Maintenance.
By using this structured approach, you'll be able to effectively implement a robust Just-in-Time Access system for Calendly.
Entitle provides self-serve access requests, flexible policy workflows, and automated provisioning, to restrict unneeded access across cloud infra and SaaS.
