Mosh Break-Glass Access

The alarm’s sounding. Something’s broken, and you can’t wait for red tape. You need access—now. This is where Mosh Break-Glass Access comes in.

Break-glass access is the controlled, emergency override that lets authorized users bypass normal security gates in order to fix critical issues fast. With Mosh, that override is secure, auditable, and built for modern infrastructure. It’s not just a shortcut; it’s a safety valve that works when your systems are failing and minutes matter.

What is Mosh Break-Glass Access?

At its core, Mosh implements a temporary privilege elevation system. You request access through Mosh, it enforces strict policy checks, and it grants short-lived credentials. The session is logged in detail: who accessed what, for how long, and why. Once the timer runs out, Mosh automatically revokes permissions, ensuring your environment returns to its hardened state.

Why Mosh over Traditional Break-Glass Approaches?

• No static credentials to leak.
• Built-in time limits prevent lingering elevated powers.
• Integrated audit trails make compliance simple.
• Works across cloud, on-prem, and hybrid setups.

Traditional systems often rely on manual overrides that leave security gaps. Mosh replaces these with automated controls that respond faster, reduce human error, and close the door as soon as the job is done.

Security and Compliance

Mosh’s break-glass workflow satisfies security reviews by combining least privilege principles with on-demand escalation. It supports role-based access, multi-factor authorization, and encrypted transport. Every event is stored for post-incident investigation, reducing your exposure and proving control in audits.

Operational Speed Without Risk

When production goes down or a deployment blocks core features, you can’t wait on approvals buried in email threads. Mosh cuts the lag to seconds while still following your governance rules. Response time improves, uptime increases, and risk stays contained.

Break-glass is not an everyday tool. It’s a controlled last resort. Mosh makes it safe enough to use without hesitation and smart enough to disable itself when the emergency ends.
