Just-In-Time Privilege Elevation with a Remote Access Proxy
A request hits your system. The user needs elevated privileges. You have seconds to decide.
Just-In-Time Privilege Elevation with a Remote Access Proxy removes the guesswork. It delivers access only when it’s required, and only for the shortest time possible. Static admin rights are gone. Attack windows shrink. Audit trails are complete.
Traditional privilege management often leaves long-standing credentials in place. That’s a permanent target. Just-In-Time Privilege Elevation grants the permissions on demand, then revokes them without delay. Combined with a Remote Access Proxy, credentials never touch the endpoint. Traffic flows through a secured gateway, isolating your internal resources from direct exposure.
This pairing solves three critical problems:
- Over-privileged accounts that attackers exploit.
- Credential sprawl from unmanaged local admin rights.
- Unverified connections into sensitive systems.
A Remote Access Proxy enforces strong, centralized controls. TLS encryption protects every session. Role-based rules decide who gets access. Multi-factor checks verify identity at the moment of request, not days or weeks beforehand.
The process is straightforward:
- A user requests elevated privileges via the access proxy.
- Policy engines validate the request and context.
- Temporary credentials are issued and scoped tightly.
- Secure remote connection is established through the proxy.
- Privileges expire automatically after the task ends.
Logs capture every event. Forensics are fast. Compliance reports write themselves. Systems stay locked until a verified, timed request flows through the proxy.
Just-In-Time Privilege Elevation paired with a Remote Access Proxy is no longer optional. It’s the core of modern secure access. Deploy it and reduce risk without slowing work.
