Just-in-Time Access To SSO Permission Sets

Just-inTime
(JIT)

Single Sign-On (SSO) Permission Sets are a feature within Single Sign-On (SSO) solutions that enable administrators to manage and assign permissions or access rights to users or groups within an organization. These permission sets define the specific resources, applications, or actions that users or groups are allowed to access once they authenticate through the SSO system.

Just-in-Time (JIT) access involves assigning permissions to users or systems in real-time as needed, rather than maintaining continuous access. This strategy is frequently employed in cybersecurity to reduce the risk of security breaches by restricting unnecessary access. It aligns with the principle of least privilege (POLP), emphasizing that users should only have the minimum access levels required to fulfill their tasks.

AWS Use Cases

Developer JIT Access

  • Limit access to the minimum required permissions and implement strict controls on when those permissions are granted. JIT access helps enhance overall security. This proactive approach reduces the risk of unauthorized access and potential security breaches.
  • Integrate JIT access with your incident response plan. In the event of a security incident, having the ability to quickly adjust access permissions can be crucial for containing and mitigating the impact.
  • Utilize JIT access with your identity management systems. This integration streamlines the process of aligning access permissions with changes in user roles, making it more efficient and less prone to errors.

Benefits

Apono automates access management to SSO Permission Sets

With Apono you’ll be able to create dynamic Access Flows that grant permissions with high granularity and full audit.

01

Continuous Access Monitoring & Conversion to Auto-Revoked Policies

Employ advanced monitoring mechanisms to vigilantly track and manage instances of unused access and over-privileges within your organizational framework. Leverage cutting-edge “Just-in-Time” access controls, which grant permissions precisely when required, and complement this with “Just Enough” conversion suggestions that provide nuanced recommendations for optimizing access levels.

02

Request & Approve via ChatOps

Leverage the power of ChatOps workflows, seamlessly integrating platforms such as Slack and Teams, to both grant and request access in a collaborative and streamlined manner. This innovative approach enhances the accessibility and efficiency of access management within your organizational framework. By incorporating ChatOps, you create an environment where access permissions can be granted or requested through intuitive and user-friendly interfaces, such as chat interfaces in Slack or Teams.

03

Customer Data Separation

Empower your organization by granting ownership to specific resources, while concurrently providing full audit capabilities that not only meet but surpass customer security requirements. Implementing this allows you to confidently navigate and fulfill stringent security mandates, fostering a culture of trust and diligence in resource management.

04

Tailored Production Engineer Access

Implement a tailored approach to permissions management by ensuring that access to sensitive resources is precisely calibrated to the specific needs and responsibilities of each user or system. This involves meticulously providing right-size permissions, aligning with the principle of least privilege. By adopting this meticulous strategy, you not only enhance the overall security posture of your system but also minimize the potential risks associated with excessive or insufficient access.
