JIT (Just-In-Time) Access is a cyber security approach that provides temporary access to systems, applications or resources only when necessary and for the shortest possible time. The aim is to reduce the risk of unauthorized access or potential security breaches. It's often employed in organizations for privilege management, significantly minimizing the attack surface by eliminating standing or long-term privileges.
1. Enhanced Least Privilege Access: Implementing just in time access and privilege escalation in Launch Darkly minimizes the risk of privilege abuse. Permissions are only granted when necessary and for a limited period, reducing the possible attack surface and reinforcing the principle of least privilege.
2. Diminished Insider Threats and Human Errors: The just in time model mitigates potential harm from security breaches, intentional or accidental misuse, by ensuring that sensitive permissions are granted to users only when they need to perform specific tasks. This can significantly lower insider threats and human errors in the feature management process.
3. Increased Operational Efficiency: The dynamic approach to access management in Launch Darkly accelerates workflows by granting necessary permissions timely, thus avoiding the downtime associated with manual role adjustments. This increases operational efficiency by enabling smoother and faster flag releases and feature deployments.
4. Simplified Compliance Auditing: Just in time access and privilege escalation allow for streamlined audit trails by having access decisions recorded and time-bound. This makes it straightforward to track and verify actions, simplifying the process of demonstrating compliance with security regulations and standards.
1. Emergency Fixes: In the event of an emergency or unexpected system failure, just-in-time admin access to Launch Darkly can allow a user or developer to respond quickly, understand the root cause of the issue, and make necessary code changes or fixes
2. Finite Duration Projects: For temporary projects or tasks that require higher-level privileges, the JIT admin access ensures delegated users can test software features, fix bugs, or modify system configurations within a finite time period, limiting long-term risk of unauthorized changes.
3. User Training and Onboarding: During employee training or onboarding process, as the trainee needs to learn how the system works, JIT admin access to Launch Darkly will allow the trainee to familiarize themselves with the entire system, without risking long-term system integrity or security.
