Just-In-Time Access with a Unified Access Proxy

Static access rules won't save you. Credentials leak. Sessions linger. Attackers wait.

Just-In-Time Access with a Unified Access Proxy stops the drift. It grants permissions only when needed, then kills them when the job is done. No standing privileges. No stale tunnels. Every session is approved, scoped, and logged.

A Unified Access Proxy becomes the single control point for all connections—SSH, RDP, Kubernetes, databases, internal web apps. It routes traffic, enforces policy, and records actions. With Just-In-Time logic, it issues short-lived credentials or ephemeral certificates instead of permanent keys. This eliminates the attack window for compromised accounts.

Engineering teams use Just-In-Time Access to collapse multiple VPNs, bastions, and jump hosts into one hardened proxy layer. They keep secrets out of endpoints. They fold identity, authorization, and audit into a single stack. The result is tighter security with less operational clutter.

IT can integrate a Unified Access Proxy into existing identity providers, enforce MFA, and automate approvals. Session lengths can be configured down to minutes. All access events flow into SIEMs, making compliance reporting straightforward.

When a proxy controls every path and every path requires Just-In-Time elevation, breaches get trapped at the gate. This is not theory—it is the architecture that aligns least privilege with real-world workflows.
