Tenable has announced enhancements to its Just-in-Time (JIT) Access capabilities, offering organizations a more comprehensive and streamlined approach to cloud security.
The Just-in-Time (JIT) Access feature bolsters cloud security by providing temporary, need-based access to sensitive resources, thereby minimizing the risks associated with persistent privileges.
This approach yields several key advantages for organizations looking to strengthen their cloud security posture:
- Reduced Attack Surface: By eliminating always-on privileges, JIT Access significantly shrinks the window of opportunity for attackers to exploit compromised identities.
- Enhanced Security Posture: Granting access only when necessary and for a limited time aligns with the principle of least privilege, reducing the risk of external threats and insider misuse.
- Seamless User Experience: Tenable’s JIT Access includes user-friendly workflows and integrates with popular messaging platforms like Slack and Microsoft Teams, enabling users to request and receive required access without impacting their productivity.
- Improved Auditability and Compliance: The solution provides a clear and comprehensive audit trail of all access requests, approvals, and session activities, simplifying compliance with various regulatory standards.
- Achieving Zero Standing Privileges: Tenable’s JIT Access enables organizations to progress towards a “zero standing privileges” model in their cloud environments, a crucial element of contemporary cybersecurity.
