At Twingate, they believe creating dynamic least privilege access management workflows is crucial for maintaining a flexible zero trust framework. Opal, an access management platform, helps enterprise companies scale least privilege with unified visualizations across the organization, productivity workflows, and accelerated user access reviews. The CEO of Opal, Stephen Cobbe, emphasizes that least-privileged access management can be implemented incrementally, starting by identifying sensitive resources, substituting longstanding access with ephemeral and just-in-time access, conducting regular access reviews, and auditing role definitions. Customers have integrated Opal with their internal tooling to expose authorization models in Opal's browsable catalog of access and leverage its powerful workflows. Opal fits into the Zero Trust ecosystem by providing defense-in-depth tenet support, requiring requests to be MFA gated or contain a support ticket for approval. Integrating tools within the Zero Trust space is important to offer a seamless experience, reducing friction in day-to-day operations. Organizations have seen a growing awareness of implementing real-time access controls across their corporate resources, but often rely on custom internal tooling, which can be difficult and expensive to maintain. As companies adopt zero trust tools and ephemeral access, attackers will need to evolve by targeting user behavior through social engineering. Opal offers a solution for rapidly implementing modern Zero Trust networks that are more secure and maintainable than VPNs.
