What is Just in Time Access?

Just-In-Time (JIT) access is a security feature that allows temporary access to resources only when it is necessary. It is designed to prevent continuous, open access to systems or data, reducing the risk of unauthorized access or potential vulnerabilities. The access is granted for a specific period and automatically revoked after the task is completed or the access period expires.

Benefits of Just in Time Access to

COR

1. Enhanced least privilege access control: Just in Time (JIT) access and Just in Time Privilege Escalation (JIPE) reduces the risk of unauthorized data breaches and ensures that COR personnel and applications only possess the minimum necessary permissions they need to execute their functions. Utilizing JIT methodologies in COR significantly enhances least privilege principles, as it limits access duration and only grants appropriate permissions.

2. Diminishment of insider threats and human errors: JIT methodologies alleviate the threat of insider misuse and human errors in COR by providing temporary access privileges that are narrowly tailored to each specific task. This is critical in reducing instances of internal misconduct and mistakes, as access to sensitive data and systems is strictly granted and revoked as needed.

3. Increased Operational Efficiency: JIT access introduces a streamlined approach for managing user access in real time, enabling more efficient operational processes in COR. By dynamically granting and revoking privileges, organizations can meet business needs swiftly without risking over-privileged users and without costly administrative overhead related to excess permission management.

4. Smoother compliance auditing: JIT methods simplify compliance auditing as they facilitate clear, direct monitoring and reporting of who has access to what data and when. This can significantly aid in COR audits and fulfillment of regulatory requirements, making it easier to demonstrate adherence to data privacy and security legislation like HIPAA, PCI DSS, or GDPR.

Use Cases for Just in Time Access to

COR

1. System Maintenance: An IT administrator might need just in time access to COR if they need to perform critical system maintenance or update, which requires higher-level permissions.

2. Security Breaches: In case of a security breach or cyber attack, an IT security specialist might use just in time admin access to quickly respond with the necessary measures to protect the company's data.

3. Troubleshooting: If a significant problem occurs with the system that cannot be resolved with regular access levels, a system admin might need just in time access to identify the problem and make necessary changes.

How to Implement Just in Time Access to

COR

1. Planning.

Assessment
Start by identifying who needs access, the resources they need access to, and the reason for the access. Review and document the current access rights and ascertain if they can be minimized or altogether eliminated. It may be beneficial to use an entitlement discovery tool for a more comprehensive overview.
Policy creation
Draft clear guidelines for both granting and revoking access. Include criteria about who can request access, under what circumstances, and for how long. Particularly for roles with high privileges, establish time-limited permissions.
Identity source
Link your JIT access system with an Identity Provider such as Okta, Google Workspace, Azure AD, OneLogin, that will serve as the definitive source of identities. Utilize individual identities instead of shared accounts for enhanced authorization control and precision in audit.

2. Execution.

Self-initiated access requests
Simplify proceedings by enabling users to request access directly through the system instead of individuals. Encourage uptake by offering integration with IM platforms like Slack or MS Teams. Ensure requests specify the necessary details such as who is asking for access, the required service/resource/role, the duration of access, and the reasoning behind it.

Approval procedure
JIT access offers a chance for companies to delegate approval to individuals more accurately acquainted with the business. Usually, resource owners and division managers have a more comprehensive context compared to IT support teams. Expedite approval responses by leveraging messaging platforms, offering all necessary information for an informed approval.

Conditional Approval flows
Incorporate your established policies within approval workflows that dictate access privileges. Incorporate them into rulesets that determine who can access which resources under what conditions. This could involve creating if-then conditions. For instance, IF identity group “X” requests access to resource “Y”, then it will require approval from "Z" and thereon notify "M".

Integrations
Integrating JIT with other IT and security systems will improve flexibility. Create connections with IT ticketing systems to automatically grant access based on the ticket status. Similarly, link with data classification systems to modify policies depending on data sensitivity. Ideally, tagging resources and grouping them under different categories should streamline this operation. Associate with on-call scheduling applications for automated approvals during emergencies.
Automated Provisioning and Deprovisioning
A deep understanding of COR is key for effectively granting and revoking fine-grained access automatically within the service. For JIT Access, this is crucial as it significantly reduces reliance on human interference, allowing for automated removal of access which aligns with the principle of least privilege access (POLP). Preferably, manage all permissions centrally to avoid setting up separate environments for each separate application within your organization.
Access methods
For COR JIT Access, APIs are favored because of their flexibility and immediacy. You may need to employ a blend of methods, for instance, using SAML for authentication, SCIM for user provisioning, and APIs for granular access control

3. Maintenance.

Regular Audits
Check access logs periodically to confirm JIT access is functioning as expected. Monitor any unusual patterns or behaviors either directly or by feeding the logs into your SIEM. The user access review can be automated to hasten evidence gathering, delegate reviewers, and ensure compliance with necessary regulations or standards.
User training
Users, particularly those with high privileged roles, should be educated about JIT Access, its functionality and the principle of least privilege. Users should know how to request access as required.
Feedback
Regularly review your JIT access processes and seek feedback from the users and IT teams to pinpoint areas needing improvement.

This systematic approach will enable efficient deployment of a robust Just-in-Time Access system for COR.
