JIT access, or Just-In-Time access, is a security strategy that strives to restrict user access to necessary resources at the exact required time, aimed to minimize the risk of unauthorized or unnecessary access. It grants temporary, time-bound access permissions to users, which reduces the attack surface for hackers. It’s commonly used for privileged access management in cybersecurity.
1. Enhanced Security Through Least-Privilege Access: Utilizing just in time access and just in time privilege escalation in Lucid Chart ensures that users possess only the minimal necessary access rights or privileges at all times. This effectively minimizes risks of unauthorized data access or manipulation, keeping diagramming information and collaboration activities safeguarded from potential internal and external cyber threats.
2. Mitigation of Insider Threats and Human Errors: By granting specific permissions to users only when they need them, Lucid Chart reduces the potential for data breaches and system vulnerabilities caused by insider mistakes or malicious activity. Minimizing persistent high-level access reduces the damage a single user could cause, thereby ensuring the safety of sensitive diagramming data.
3. Improved Operational Efficiency: The just in time approach in Lucid Chart ensures prompt permission granting which in return can speed up task execution. This limits waiting time for permission changes, maximizing workplace productivity and operational efficiency in creating or editing real-time, dynamic diagramming and visual collaboration.
4. Streamlined Auditing for Compliance: With just in time access and privilege escalation, Lucid Chart simplifies compliance reporting and auditing processes. As permission changes are momentary and securely logged, reviewing authorization histories or investigating incidents becomes straightforward, easing efforts towards adhering to important industry standards and regulations in the data visualization field.
1. Emergency Edits: In a situation where there's an urgent need for modifications to a critical business process flow diagram, just in time admin access to Lucid Chart can grant temporary permissions to the necessary individual to make these changes.
2. Collaborative Projects: For team projects that require everyone's input on a diagram, just in time admin access can be used to temporarily grant everyone administrative privileges, resulting in a faster, more efficient collaboration process.
3. Training Purposes: For onboarding new hires or explaining complex processes to employees, just in time admin access can temporarily give trainers the ability to create and edit visual learning materials or process diagrams in Lucid Chart.
1. Planning.
2. Execution.
3. Maintenance.
By adhering to this structured method, you can effectively implement a robust Just-in-Time Access system for Lucid Chart.
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."
