The request hits seconds before the deadline. You have no time, no margin for error. You need elevated access. You get it—only for as long as you need—and it’s gone. That is Just-In-Time Privilege Elevation and Just-In-Time Action Approval.
These two controls strip away standing permissions and approval bottlenecks. Elevated privileges are granted only at the exact moment they’re required. Approval for sensitive actions happens in real time, triggered by the event itself. No open access lingering in the background. No waiting in ticket queues while critical tasks stall.
Just-In-Time Privilege Elevation hardens systems by reducing exposure windows. Privileges exist only inside the smallest usable timeframe, closing off attack surfaces before they can be exploited. Credentials granted this way expire automatically and cannot be reused.
Just-In-Time Action Approval enforces a second, instant checkpoint. Approvers see the action request as it happens and decide with full context. Policies can route requests to the right person without delay. Once approved, the action runs, and the elevated permission or execution path closes.
