Using Automated Just-in-Time (JIT) to Reach Least Privilege – A Guide

Originally published by Ermetic. Privileged access and elevated permissions expose organizations to vulnerabilities that could be exploited. On-premises, security teams often use PAM tools for managing these types of risks. But for cloud operations, PAM tools are insufficient as they are built around network access rather than cloud access, which is identity based. JIT (Just-in-Time) privileged access strategies minimize the attack surface of your cloud environments by reducing the window tha...
