What is Just in Time Access?

Just-In-Time (JIT) access is a security feature that allows temporary access to resources or services for a specific period of time. It is mainly used to reduce the exposure of resources and minimize the potential for security breaches. With JIT access, an administrator can grant privileges for certain tasks as they are needed, reducing the risk of unauthorized users gaining access.

Benefits of Just in Time Access to

Common Room

1. Enhanced Least Privilege Access: Just in time access ensures that team members only have access to resources in Common Room when necessary, thereby reducing overprovisioning of privileges. This heightens security by adopting a least privilege access model, and minimizing the risk of inappropriate access.

2. Reduced Insider Threats and Human Errors: Just in time escalation of privileges lessens the likelihood of insiders misusing their access rights or making mistakes, as they only receive elevated permissions for specific tasks at the needed time. This significantly decreases the attack surface within Common Room, reducing potential security vulnerabilities.

3. Improved Operational Efficiency: Implementing just in time access in Common Room ensures available resources are used smartly and only when needed. This approach reduces the complexity of managing user roles and enhances operational efficiency by dynamically adjusting access rights, based on real-time needs.

4. Simplified Auditing for Compliance: As just in time access provides privileges in a controlled, time-bound manner, it becomes easier to audit for compliance within Common Room. Tracking and documenting user activities for internal or external audits are streamlined, promoting transparency and adherence to regulatory standards - attributes that are pivotal in today's cybersecurity landscape.

Use Cases for Just in Time Access to

Common Room

1. Server Maintenance: An IT admin requires immediate system access in order to perform routine server maintenance and updates within the Common Room platform.

2. Security Breach: In the event of a suspected cyberattack or security breach, an IT security expert needs instant high-level access to assess the situation and implement necessary security measures to protect data and systems.

3. Troubleshooting: During a software glitch or system failure, a developer or IT professional might need immediate access to identify the problem, troubleshoot the issue, and deploy a fix to ensure the platform's functionality and user accessibility.

How to Implement Just in Time Access to

Common Room

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

1. Planning.

  • Assessment
    Begin by determining which individuals need access, the resources they require, and why. Document existing access rights and evaluate if they can be minimized or eradicated. Consider an entitlement discovery tool for broader visibility.
  • Policy creation
    Formulate clear policies that dictate how to grant and rescind access. Include rules about who can request access, in what situations, and for what duration. Dictate time-bound parameters for individuals with heightened roles.
  • Source of truth
    Sync your JIT access system with an Identity Provider (e.g., Okta, Google Workspace, Azure AD, OneLogin). This will establish a central source of user identities. Prioritize individual identities over shared accounts to enhance authorization control and audit accuracy.

2. Execution.

  • Self-serve access requests
    Simplify the process by enabling users to request access directly through the system, rather than person-to-person. Enhance adoption rates by integrating with messaging platforms like Slack or MS Teams. Ensure requests include necessary details - who's asking, the required service/resource/role, duration, and context.
  • Approval process
    JIT access allows you to delegate approvals to those with a better understanding of business context, such as resource owners and business unit managers. Utilize messaging platforms to expedite responses and provide all necessary information for informed decision-making.
  • Conditional approval workflows
    Implement these predefined policies within workflows that dictate access permissions based on certain conditions, using if-then conditions.
  • Integrations
    Consider integrating JIT access with other IT and security systems for more flexibility. Connect them with IT ticketing systems for automated access based on ticket status. Link with data sensitivity systems to adjust policies accordingly. Collate resources and bundle them together for streamlined processing. Collaborate with on-call schedule software for automated approvals during emergencies. Implement training systems for granting access upon training completion.
  • Automated provisioning and deprovisioning
    Achieve an advanced understanding of Common Room for effective automatic access management. Allow for automated deprovisioning of access to align with the JIT access model and the principle of least privilege access (POLP).
  • Mechanisms.
    For Common Room JIT Access, APIs are preferred due to their versatility and real-time features. However, a mix may be required, such as SAML for authentication, SCIM for user provisioning, and APIs for precise access control decisions.

3. Maintenance.

  • Regular audits
    Habitually check access logs to confirm JIT access is functioning as planned. Keep an eye out for unusual patterns or behaviors and automate the user access review process for quicker evidence collection, delegate reviewers, and industry regulation compliance.
  • User training
    Educate users, especially those with added privileges, about JIT Access, least privilege principles, and its functionalities. Ensure users understand how to request access when necessary.
  • Feedback loop
    Regularly evaluate your JIT access processes and seek constructive feedback from users and IT staff.

This will help you continually enhance your JIT access system for Common Room.
