Just-in-Time & Ephemeral Access
The Power of JIT
Just-in-Time (JIT): Users request elevated access only when needed, for a limited time, often requiring approval and justification. Access expires automatically.
Ephemeral Credentials: Short-lived, dynamically generated credentials used for specific tasks or sessions, minimizing the window of opportunity for attackers.
Directly Achieving Zero Trust Least Privilege: This is the epitome of the Zero Trust principle of Least Privilege Access. By eliminating standing privileges, you drastically reduce the potential impact of compromised accounts and lateral movement.
Massive Risk Reduction: JIT/Ephemeral access is one of the most effective ways to mitigate risks associated with credential theft, ransomware, and insider threats in Azure.
Azure Mechanisms: We leverage Azure capabilities like Privileged Identity Management (PIM), Azure Key Vault, Managed Identities, and custom automation to implement robust JIT and ephemeral access solutions.
KMS: Your Pioneers in Advanced JIT: Kings Mountain Security possesses deep expertise in designing and implementing these advanced, highly effective Zero Trust techniques, often overlooked by generalist providers.
