What is Just in Time Access?

Just-In-Time (JIT) access is a security feature that provides temporary access to resources only when needed, for the minimum required duration. This method helps in reducing the attack surface by limiting the unnecessary and prolonged access to critical systems. It is commonly used in cloud computing, privilege access management, and other IT systems.

Benefits of Just in Time Access to

Lattice

1. Enhanced Least Privilege Access Control: Just in time access in Lattice enforces the principle of least privilege access by dynamically granting permission to users only when it is needed. This not only reduces the attack surface but also ensures that unauthorized access to sensitive data is minimized, enhancing overall system security.  

2. Reduced Insider Threats and Human Errors: With just in time privilege escalation in Lattice, users are granted enhanced permissions momentarily for assigned tasks, significantly reducing the risk of both inadvertent mistakes and potential misuse of access rights by insiders. This proactive approach helps in boosting the security posture of an organization.  

3. Improved Operational Efficiency: The Just in Time (JIT) model in Lattice automates the rule-based access granting process, eliminating the need for manual intervention and thus enhancing operational efficiency. The access is provided promptly and revoked when no longer needed, reducing dwell time and adding pace to workspace operations.  

4. Streamlined Auditing for Compliance: Lattice's just in time access model offers transparency and traceability by maintaining an audit trail of privileged activities. This not only simplifies regulatory compliance for industries but also aids in quick incident response and forensics, ensuring governance, risk and compliance (GRC) objectives in line with the cybersecurity framework.

Use Cases for Just in Time Access to

Lattice

1. Incident Response - In a scenario where an unexpected security breach or incident happens, just in time admin access can be used to quickly authorize a specific cybersecurity team member to respond and mitigate the threat while limiting long-term insider risk exposure.

2. Audit and Compliance - This feature can be used during auditing processes where auditors need temporary access to certain aspects of Lattice to evaluate compliance levels or investigate an issue, thereby safeguarding the system from potential unauthorized access after the audit.

3. Limited Access Project - If a project requires temporary additional administrative privileges for a certain team, JIT admin access can be granted to enable them to execute the project efficiently - once the work is complete, the privileges can be revoked, keeping the system secure.

How to Implement Just in Time Access to

Lattice

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

1. Planning.

  • Assessment
    Start by identifying the individuals in need of access, the resources they require, and the reasons behind these needs. Review the current access rights and consider whether they can be minimized or even removed. For improved visibility, consider the use of an entitlement discovery tool.
  • Policy creation
    Develop clear-cut policies outlining the procedures for granting and revoking access. These policies should outline who is allowed to request access, the conditions under which access can be granted, and the permitted duration of access. Establish time-bound parameters, especially for privileged roles.
  • Source of truth
    Link your JIT access system with an Identity Provider (e.g., Okta, Google Workspace, Azure AD, OneLogin). This will serve as your definitive source for user identities. Prioritize individual identities over shared accounts for enhanced control over authorization and improved audit accuracy.

2. Execution.

  • Self-serve access requests
    Streamline the access process by having users request access directly through the system, not through individuals. Promote adoption rates by integrating with IM platforms like Slack or MS Teams. Ensure that requests clearly detail who's asking, their required service/resource/role, the duration, and the reason for the request.
  • Approval process
    JIT access enables organizations to assign approval responsibilities to those with the appropriate business context. Messaging platforms may speed up response times, providing approvers with all the necessary information for making informed decisions.
  • Conditional approval workflows
    Implement your established policies into workflows that govern access permissions, determining who gets access to what, and under which conditions. This can be effectively done using if-then conditions.
  • Integrations
    Consider integrating JITA with other IT and security systems, such as IT ticketing systems for automated access based on ticket status, data classification systems for tailored policies based on data sensitivity, and on-call schedule software for automated approvals during emergencies.
  • Automated provisioning and deprovisioning
    Familiarize yourself with Lattice to efficiently grant and revoke fine-grained access automatically within the service. This is crucial for JIT Access since it lessens the dependence on human intervention and aids in automated deprovisioning of access, a key feature of JIT access and the principle of least privilege access (POLP).
  • Access methods
    For Lattice JIT Access, APIs are a preferred choice given their flexibility and real-time capabilities. However, a blend of methods such as SAML for authentication, SCIM for user provisioning, and APIs for precise access control decisions may be required.

3. Maintenance.

  • Regular audits
    Conduct routine checks of access logs to confirm that the JIT access is functioning as intended. Be on the lookout for any abnormal patterns or behaviors.
  • User training
    Conduct regular training sessions for users, particularly those with privileged access, on the importance of least privilege, JIT Access, and its operation.
  • Feedback loop
    Consistently review your JIT access procedures by seeking feedback from users and IT staff to understand where improvements can be made.

By adhering to this structured approach, you will be able to effectively implement a robust Just-in-Time Access system for Lattice.
