Just-in-Time (JIT) Access with Veza Access Requests

Just-in-time (JIT) access is a powerful concept that grants users access only when needed, reducing standing privilege and its associated costs, security risks, and compliance issues. Traditional access models grant durable permissions to resources, leading to users amassing significant and ever-increasing amounts of standing privilege over time. This can result in users having drastically more privilege than they need to perform their job on a day-to-day basis, increasing the risk of lateral movement in case of a security breach and making it difficult for organizations to maintain large amounts of standing privilege. JIT access mitigates these issues by requiring users to request access to applications, privileged entitlements, or resources when needed, with approval workflows and automation ensuring that access is granted only temporarily. This approach minimizes the attack surface on users, reduces the risk of lateral movement, and provides significant cost savings through optimized software licensing and improved compliance with regulations. The Veza Access Platform facilitates the deployment of JIT access by providing a comprehensive product to manage and orchestrate access requests, with customizable policies, approval workflows, automated provisioning and revocation, and logging capabilities that provide a detailed audit trail.
