Just-In-Time (JIT) access is a cybersecurity model that minimizes the risk associated with standing privileged access by providing temporary, time-bound access to critical resources only when needed. It gives users the necessary permissions to carry out tasks and revokes them immediately once the task is completed. This approach limits the potential damage from breaches because even if the user's credentials are compromised, intruders can't gain access due to the absence of continuously available privileges.
1. Enhanced Least Privilege Access: With just in time access and privilege escalation, Google Drive provides a more refined control over user permissions, ensuring that individuals have access only to the necessary resources at the necessary times. This reduces the risk of unauthorized access and misuse of data and aligns with the principle of least privilege.
2. Mitigation of Insider Threats: By restricting access to sensitive documents and only escalating permissions when necessary, the risks associated with insider threats are significantly reduced. Accidental exposure or intentional misuse of data by trusted individuals within the organization can be prevented with just in time permissions.
3. Improved Operational Efficiency: Just in time access and privilege escalation simplifies permission management within Google Drive. This reduces the administrative overhead involved with recurrent permission reviews and modifications, thereby achieving better operational efficiency.
4. Simplified Compliance Auditing: Just in time featureable streamlined auditing of permission changes as it leaves a comprehensive, timestamped log of every permission escalation and access event. This makes the process of compliance auditing easier by providing clear and unambiguous visibility into each user's access history.
1. Collaborative Work: Just-in-time access can be beneficial when multiple team members need immediate access to a specific file on Google Drive for collaborating on a project on a tight schedule.
2. Emergency Situations: If there is an imminent security threat, just-in-time access would allow security personnel to quickly gain access to sensitive files in order to protect them.
3. Client Meetings: Business professionals can use just-in-time access to quickly retrieve important documents or presentations from Google Drive during a meeting with a client.
1. Planning.
2. Execution.
3. Maintenance.
By adhering to this structured approach, you can effectively implement a robust Just-in-Time Access system for Google Drive.
Entitle provides self-serve access requests, flexible policy workflows, and automated provisioning, to restrict unneeded access across cloud infra and SaaS.
