What is Just in Time Access?

Just-In-Time (JIT) access refers to an information technology strategy that restricts access to network resources until they are needed. Under this strategy, users are required to request access each time they need to use a resource, which is only granted for a specific period of time and for a specific purpose. This approach improves security by reducing the risk of unauthorized access and the potential misuse of resources or data.

Benefits of Just in Time Access to

Forma

1. Enhanced Security through Least Privilege Access: Just in time access ensures that users in Forma are granted the absolute minimum privileges necessary to complete their tasks. This significantly reduces the attack surface area and mitigates risks associated with excessive privileges, like unauthorized data manipulation or breaches.

2. Mitigation of Insider Threats: The just in time privilege escalation feature in Forma makes it more difficult for insiders with malicious intent to access sensitive resources, as it limits their permissions until such times when they are necessary. By strictly defining who can perform specific actions and under what circumstances, organizations can prevent unauthorized access, leaks, or data misuse from within.

3. Improved Operational Efficiency: Just in time access streamlines the process of revoking or granting permissions, as they are allocated when necessary, aiding in operational efficiency. By automating and minimizing manual intervention in assigning privileges, Forma enables quicker response times, reduced administrative overload, and better resource allocation.

4. Simplified Compliance Auditing: The just in time privilege escalation provides an effective way for organizations to document who has access to critical resources and when they were accessed. This makes regulatory compliance easier as organizations can account for every access or privilege escalation, facilitating audit trails, and transparency for internal reviews or regulatory checks.

Use Cases for Just in Time Access to

Forma

1. System Upgrades: When updating or introducing new features to the Forma system, just-in-time admin access can be granted to the IT team to install, test, and troubleshoot the necessary upgrades without providing permanent administrative access.

2. Emergency Situations: In the case of system failure or cyber security threat, just-in-time admin permissions can be given to quickly resolve the issue and safeguard the system, providing controlled and monitored access to sensitive data.

3. User Support: For specific user issues which require high level access to address, just-in-time admin access can be used to swiftly resolve the problem while maintaining system security and tracking all performed actions.

How to Implement Just in Time Access to

Forma

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

1. Planning.

  • Assessment
    First, determine who requires access to Forma, the resources they will need, and why. Examine current access permissions and assess if they can be reduced or removed. Use of an entitlement discovery tool for more comprehensive visibility may be beneficial.
  • Policy Implementation
    Implement strict policies for both giving and withdrawing access. Policies should stipulate who can ask for access, in what circumstances, and for how long, especially time-limited parameters for privileged roles.
  • Source of Authority
    Connect your JIT access system with an Identity Provider such as Okta, Google Workspace, Azure AD, or OneLogin, which will serve as the authoritative source for identities. Prioritizing de/escalating individual identities over shared accounts allows for improved authorization control and audit precision.

2. Execution.

  • Self-administrated Access Requests
    Streamline the process by having users request access through the system rather than individuals. Improve adoption rates by merging with IM platforms like Slack or MS Teams. Access requests should specify who is making the request, the required service/resource/role, duration, and justification.
  • Approval Procedure
    JIT access enables organizations to delegate approvals to individuals with business knowledge. Resource owners and business unit executives often have a deeper understanding than IT helpdesks. Expedite responses by using messaging platforms that provide approvers with all necessary information for an informed decision.
  • Conditional Approval Workflows
    Incorporate your established policies into workflows that establish access permissions. Design workflows that direct who can access what and under which conditions by implementing if-then scenarios.
  • Integrations
    Consider the integration of JIT access with other IT and security systems for greater flexibility. Connect with data classification systems to revise policies based on data sensitivity. Collaborate with on-call schedule software for emergency automated approvals. Connect with training systems to grant access based on training completion.
  • Automated provisioning and deprovisioning
    Gain a comprehensive understanding of Forma to effectively administer and withdraw fine-grained access within the software.
  • Access Methods
    APIs are preferred for JIT Access to Forma due to their flexibility and real-time capabilities, but a combination might be necessary.

3. Maintenance.

  • Regular Audits
    Check access logs periodically to ensure JIT access is functioning as expected. Look for atypical patterns or activities, either directly or by inputting the logs into your SIEM.
  • Educational Programs for Users
    Inform users about the importance of least privilege and JIT Access and how it operates. Encourage users to know how to request access when it is needed.
  • Feedback Cycle
    Consistently review your JIT access procedures while seeking feedback from users and IT staff to pinpoint possible areas of improvement.

By following this composed approach, you'll be able to effectively implement a strong Just-in-Time Access system for Forma.
