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.
