What is Just in Time Access?

Just-In-Time (JIT) access is a security strategy that assigns privileges and access to users as and when needed, instead of allowing continuous access. The aim is to minimize the risk of unauthorized or unintended access to critical systems and sensitive data. It can also help to reduce the attack surface area and diminish the potential impact of security breaches.

Benefits of Just in Time Access to

Elements.cloud

1. Enhanced Least Privilege Access: In Elements.cloud, just in time access ensures that users receive the minimum level of permissions required to perform a given task. This aligns with the principle of least privilege (PoLP), thereby reducing vulnerabilities and improving the system's overall security posture.

2. Minimized Insider Threats: Just in time privilege escalation diminishes the risk of insider threats in Elements.cloud by providing elevated permissions only when necessary and for a limited duration, thereby reducing the potential for unauthorized access or misuse of sensitive data.

3. Improved Operational Efficiency: Utilizing just in time access in Elements.cloud streamlines the process of assigning and managing user permissions. This automation of previously manual processes increases productivity and decreases the likelihood of human error, leading to more efficient operations.

4. Simplified Compliance Auditing: The use of just in time access and privilege escalation in Elements.cloud provides better visibility and control over user activities, making it easier to audit for compliance with different industry regulations. This feature enables rigorous tracking of permission changes, which helps in demonstrating compliance during audits.

How to Implement Just in Time Access to

Elements.cloud

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

1. Planning.

  • Assessment
    Start by determining who requires access to Elements.cloud, the resources they will require, and the purpose. Review existing access rights and determine if they can be minimized or removed. An entitlement discovery tool could provide more visibility.
  • Policy creation
    Develop clear policies for granting and revoking access. Establish guidelines about who can request access, under which situations and for how long, particularly for privileged roles with time-bound parameters.
  • Source of truth
    Synchronize your JIT access system with an Identity Provider like Okta, Google Workspace, Azure AD, or OneLogin. This will serve as the authoritative source for identities. Using individual identities instead of shared accounts can provide better control and audit accuracy.

2. Execution.

  • Self-serve access requests
    Simplify the process for users to request access to Elements.cloud through the system, rather than through people. Increase adoption rates by integrating with IM platforms such as Slack or MS Teams. Include details in requests like who is asking, the required service/resource/role, duration, and reason.
  • Approval process
    JIT access allows organizations to delegate approvals to those with better understanding of operating context like Resource owners and business unit managers. Using messaging platforms can streamline the approval process with all necessary information for a well-justified decision.
  • Conditional approval workflows
    Incorporate predefined policies into workflows that govern access permissions. This can be achieved effectively using conditional clauses such as. "If identity group “X” requests access to “Y”, seek approval from “Z” and notify “M”.
  • Integrations
    Consider linking JIT Access to other IT and security systems for improved adaptability. Integrate it with IT ticketing systems for automated access based on ticket status, data classification systems for policy regulation, on-call schedule software for automated approvals during emergencies, and training systems to grant access based on training completion.
  • Automated provisioning and deprovisioning
    Gain a comprehensive understanding of Elements.cloud to effectively grant and strip access automatically in the service.
  • Access methods
    For Elements.cloud JIT Access, APIs are ideal due to their flexibility and real-time capabilities. However, a mix may be required, such as using SAML for authentication, SCIM for user provisioning, and APIs for accurate access control decisions.

3. Maintenance.

  • Regular audits
    Regularly review access logs to ensure JIT access is performing as expected. Automate the user access review process to speed up evidence collection, delegate reviewers, and ensure your system adheres to applicable industry regulations or standards.
  • User training
    Inform users, particularly privileged ones, about the importance of least privilege, JIT Access, and its functionality. Ensure users are aware of how to request access when required.
  • Feedback loop
    Regularly review your JIT access procedures, gain feedback from users and IT staff to identify areas for improvement.

By implementing this structured approach, you can effectively set up a robust Just-in-Time Access system for Elements.cloud.
