What is Just in Time Access?

Just-In-Time (JIT) access is a security strategy that involves providing permissions or credentials to users only when needed and for a limited timeframe. It reduces the risk of unauthorized data access from inside or outside the enterprise by minimizing the opportunities for gaining unnecessary credentials. The strategy is commonly used in privileged access management, cloud deployments, and other areas where sensitive data is accessed frequently.

Benefits of Just in Time Access to

Screenstep

1. Enhanced Least Privilege Access Management: By using just in time access and privilege escalation in Screenstep, the framework is in place to grant the least privilege necessary for each task. This minimizes the exposure of sensitive data and reduces the risk of unauthorized access or privilege abuse.

2. Reduced Insider Threats & Human Errors: Just in time access ensures that users are granted access only when necessary, effectively reducing the likelihood of inside threats and human error-based mistakes. The automation of privilege escalation eliminates possibilities of manual misconfigurations and thus, significantly reduce security vulnerabilities.

3. Improved Operational Efficiency: The just in time model in Screenstep improves operational productivity by streamlining the process of granting and revoking permissions, using automated workflows. This reduces administrative overheads and ensures employees are not granted excessive or unnecessary permissions?

4. Easier Compliance Auditing: Using just in time access in Screenstep simplifies auditing for compliance since access logs are more concise and accurate. IT can easily track who had access to what data, when, and why, which supports transparency and accountability in business operations.

Use Cases for Just in Time Access to

Screenstep

1. Employee Training: Just in time admin access can be used for training new employees on how to use Screensteps, allowing them to access certain sections of the system only when they need to learn about them, helping to reduce information overload.

2. Emergency Situations: In case of unexpected issues or emergencies, providing just in time admin access to specific team members can aid in resolving problems more efficiently as they don't need to wait for admin approval to access certain tools or settings.

3. System Maintenance or Updates: Admins can provide just in time access to developers or technicians during system maintenance or updates, allowing them to perform necessary tasks within Screensteps without having permanent access which could pose a security risk.

How to Implement Just in Time Access to

Screenstep

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

1. Planning.

  • Assessment
    Begin by identifying which staff require access to the Screenstep platform, defining the resources they need, and specifying the purpose of access. Document the existing access rights to determine whether any can be downsized or eliminated. Employ an entitlement discovery tool for enhanced visibility.
  • Policy creation
    Establish explicit policies for granting and temporarily removing access. The policy should spell out who is eligible to request access, on what grounds, and for what length of time. With respect to privileged roles, establish time-bound parameters.
  • Source of truth
    Synchronize your Screenstep just-in-time access system with an Identity Provider (like Okta, Google Workspace, Azure AD, or OneLogin) to serve as the ultimate reference for identities. Using individual identities rather than shared accounts enhances authorization control and improves the accuracy of audits.

2. Execution.

  • Self-serve access requests
    Simplify the procedure by allowing users to request access through the platform instead of through personnel. Boost adoption rates by integrating with instant messaging platforms like Slack/MS Teams and ensure that requests detail who is asking for what resource, for what duration, and why.
  • Approval process
    Just-in-Time access allows organizations to delegate approval authority to individuals with the appropriate business context. Resource owners and business unit managers often have a better understanding of the business context than IT helpdesks. Make use of messaging platforms for quick responses, giving approvers all the necessary information to form an informed decision.
  • Conditional approval workflows
    Incorporate your established policies into workflows determining access rights. Include these into workflows defining who can access what and under what conditions. One successful approach is to utilize if-then conditions.
  • Integrations
    Consider integrating Just-in-Time Access into your other IT and security systems for heightened adaptability. For example, integrate with IT ticketing systems for automatic granting of access based on ticket status. Based on data sensitivity, connect with data classification systems to adjust policies. Try to tag resources and bundle them together to ease this process. Federate with on-call schedule software for auto-approved access during emergencies. Link to training systems to allow access based on the completion of training.
  • Automated provisioning and deprovisioning
    Understand Screenstep to manage user access within the service. This reduces dependence on people's availability by promoting automated removal of access - a core principle of Just-in-Time Access and least privilege access (POLP). For preferred access methods, APIs are recommended for real-time capabilities, but a combination might be helpful, like using SAML for authentication, SCIM for user provisioning, and APIs for precise access control decisions.

3. Maintenance.

  • Regular audits
    Periodically review Screenstep's access logs for confidence that Just-in-Time Access is working as intended.
  • User education
    Teach users about the principle of least privilege and how Just-in-Time Access operates. Keep users informed on how to request access as needed.
  • Feedback loop
    Continually review and improve your Just-In-Time Access procedures with user and IT staff feedback.

Following this structured approach, you will be able to effectively implement a robust Just-In-Time Access system for Screenstep.
