Just-In-Time Privilege Elevation with Privileged Session Recording

That’s the point of Just-In-Time Privilege Elevation paired with Privileged Session Recording. Instead of leaving elevated access lying around like an unlocked door, privileges are granted only when needed, only for as long as required, and always under full surveillance. This removes the attack surface by closing the window the moment a task ends.

Just-In-Time Privilege Elevation enforces a zero-standing-access model. Users start with baseline permissions. When a higher level is needed to perform a task—like patching a system, deploying to production, or accessing sensitive logs—a controlled workflow issues temporary privileges. Every approval is logged. Every change has a timestamp. When the task ends, elevated access vanishes automatically.

Pairing this with Privileged Session Recording captures every keystroke, command, and click during the privileged window. These recordings create a tamper-proof audit trail, making post-event forensics direct and conclusive. If something goes wrong, you know exactly what happened, in what order, and by whom. This deters misuse, reduces insider risk, and makes compliance with frameworks like SOC 2, ISO 27001, and HIPAA straightforward.

Key advantages:

• No permanent privileged accounts with open-ended access
• Time-bound elevation reduces attack duration
• Complete visibility through searchable session recordings
• Rapid correlation between elevated sessions and system changes

The combination is more than control—it’s precision. You deliver what’s needed to finish the job, nothing more, nothing less, while recording everything for accountability. No ambiguity. No uncontrolled permissions.
