What is Just in Time Access?

Just-In-Time (JIT) access is a security strategy in which a user's access rights are activated only for the specific time they are required and then promptly deactivated after use. This minimizes the risk of unauthorized access or insider threats because the rights and privileges are not constantly available. JIT access is often used in cloud environments or high-security systems to provide an additional layer of protection.

Benefits of Just in Time Access to

Cognism

1. Enhanced Least Privilege Access Management: Just in Time (JIT) access in Cognism assures that workforce members have the minimal necessary access to perform their tasks. This access is given at the right time and revoked immediately once the task is done, ensuring that employees only have minimum required privileges, thereby reducing the risk associated with unnecessary privileges.

2. Reduction in Insider Threats and Human Errors: With JIT privilege escalation, risk of damage from insider threats is considerably mitigated. Employees can't exploit system access for malicious intent or make accidental detrimental changes, since they don't possess continuous high-level access rights. The real-time privilege escalation only when needed minimizes these risks.

3. Improved Operational Efficiency: JIT access and JIT privilege escalation enhances efficiency as it allows quick and secure access to required resources, saving time during critical operations. In addition, automated access management processes eliminate the need for manual operations, further increasing the operational efficiency.

4. Easier Compliance Auditing: JIT method in Cognism makes the auditing process easier by providing clear visibility into who had access to what data, when, and for what purpose. This can prove critical in compliance audits as the process effectively leaves an audit trail which can be easily tracked and monitored.

Use Cases for Just in Time Access to

Cognism

1. Emergency Situations: If there is a sudden technical issue or data breach, just in time admin access can allow a specialist or senior staff member to access the system immediately to address the issue and prevent further problems.

2. On-Demand Auditing: When there is a need to inspect data or user activities for compliance or auditing purposes, just in time admin access can grant auditors temporary access to the Cognism platform to conduct their investigations without disrupting the normal flow of activity.

3. Temporary Assistance: For situations where a company consultant or external expert may need to review processes and provide insights for improvements, just in time access can be granted briefly for this purpose without having to compromise on the overall data security.

How to Implement Just in Time Access to

Cognism

Entitle Just In Time Access - diagram- How to Implement Just in Time Access to

1. Planning.

  • Assessment
    Start by identifying who needs access, what resources they need to access, and why. Document existing access rights to see if they can be reduced or completely eliminated. For better visibility, using an entitlement discovery tool might be beneficial.
  • Policy creation
    Establish clear policies for both giving and removing access. Include guidance about who can request access, under what conditions, and for how long the access will last. For elevated roles, define time-specific parameters.
  • Source of truth
    Synchronize your JIT access system with an Identity Provider (Okta, Google Workspace, Azure AD, OneLogin for example). This will serve as the authoritative source for identities. De/escalating individual identities over shared accounts leads to better access control and more accurate auditing.

2. Execution.

  • Self-serve access requests
    Streamline the process by allowing users to request access via the system rather than directly with people. Increase adoption rates by integrating with IM platforms such as Slack or MS Teams. Make sure requests specify who is asking, the necessary service/resource/role, the duration of access, and the reason.
  • Approval process
    JIT access lets companies delegate approvals to staff with a better understanding of the business context. Resource owners and heads of business units often have greater insight than IT helpdesks. Use messaging platforms for quick responses, providing approvers all the necessary information to make informed decisions.
  • Conditional approval workflows
    Embed your preset policies into workflows that ascertain access permissions. Build them into workflows that control who can access what, and under what conditions. Assign if-then conditions as an efficient method.
  • Integration
    Integrate JITA with other IT and security systems to increase flexibility. Connect with IT ticketing systems for automatic access based on ticket status. Link data classification systems to adjust policies according to data sensitivity. Collaborate with on-call schedule software for automatic approvals during emergencies. Train to grant access based on training completion.
  • Automated provisioning and depovisioning
    Develop a deep understanding of Cognism to effectively manage access within the service. This is crucial to JIT Access because it minimizes reliance on individuals having available time. Use automated deprovisioning of access, fundamental to JIT Access and the principle of least privilege access (POLP). Manage all permissions in one place, rather than creating or maintaining a different environment for every application in your organization.
  • Access methods
    For Cognism JIT Access, APIs are preferable due to their real-time capabilities and flexibility. However, using SAML for authentication, SCIM for user provisioning, and APIs for granular access control decisions might also be necessary.

3. Maintenance.

  • Regular audits
    Check access logs routinely to verify that JIT access is functioning as planned. Use either direct inspection or SIEM feeding to identify any unusual patterns or behaviours. Automate the user access review process to expedite evidence collection, assign reviewers, and ensure compliance with relevant industry standards or regulations.
  • User training
    Train users, particularly those with elevated permissions, on the importance of least privilege, JIT Access, and how it operates. Make sure users understand how to request access when needed.
  • Feedback loop
    Consistently review your JIT access procedures and obtain feedback from users and IT staff to find potential improvements.

By following this structured approach, you'll be able to effectively implement a robust Just-in-Time Access system for Cognism.
