Just-In-Time (JIT) access refers to a model of granting access rights or permissions to a user only when they are specifically required and for the minimum period of time necessary. This can greatly reduce the risk of unauthorized or unnecessary access to critical systems or data. It is often used in fields such as cybersecurity and cloud computing.
1. Enhanced Operational Efficiency: Leveraging Just in Time (JIT) access and privilege escalation works to remove standing privileges, meaning users are granted rights on an as-needed basis. This streamlined approach results in less administrative overhead, more efficient workflows, and ultimately enhances operational efficiency in managing Active Directory.
2. Mitigation of Insider Threats: Just in Time (JIT) access control can significantly reduce potential security risks from insider threats, by ensuring that privileged access is granted only for a specific time period and only when necessary, reducing the opportunity for misuse or exploitation of elevated privileges.
3. Reduction of Human Error Impact: The ad hoc nature of JIT privilege escalation means that any human error, such as accidental changes or deletions in Active Directory, is likely to have less impact. This minimizes the potential of such errors contributing to system downtime or jeopardizing security.
4. Facilitated Audit and Compliance Process: Implementing JIT privilege escalation helps in creating detailed activity logs, which are essential in performing IT audits. This approach of isolating and monitoring privileged access can significantly simplify the auditing process for compliance purposes, ensuring that all permissions changes are authorized and traceable.
1. IT Administration: In case an IT administrator needs to perform high-level tasks such as managing servers or configuring settings, just-in-time access ensures that they have permissions only for a limited period of time, reducing the risk of inadvertent or malicious changes.
2. Incident Response: If a security incident arises that requires immediate action from a specialized team or individual, just-in-time Active Directory access can facilitate them with necessary permissions without having to permanently escalate their user rights.
3. Third-party Access: For situations where a contractor or third-party support needs temporary access to perform specific tasks (like system checks or software installation), just-in-time access can provide temporary necessary permissions without endangering the integrity of the system.

Active Directory (AD) is a Microsoft technology used to manage computers and other devices on a network. It is a directory service that stores information about objects on the network and makes this information available to users and network administrators. It includes features like user authentication, group policy implementation, and information storage, making it a critical component for network management.
Entitle is how cloud-forward companies provide employees with temporary, granular and just-in-time access within their cloud infrastructure and SaaS applications. Entitle easily integrates with your stack, offering self-serve access requests, instant visibility into your cloud entitlements and making user access reviews a breeze.
