Executive Summary

ANALYST: COI RESEARCH

To eliminate standing privileges (admin rights that exist 24/7), the bank implemented a JIT access policy. Administrators have zero access by default. To fix a production issue, they must request access, which is provisioned for a specific time window (e.g., 2 hours) and automatically revoked and logged afterwards.

rate_review Analyst Verdict

"Best practice for reducing the blast radius of a breach. If a hacker steals an admin's credential, it's useless because the admin has no standing rights. JIT forces a 'ticket-first' workflow that creates a perfect audit trail for regulators."

warning The Challenge

Administrators had permanent 'root' access to core banking systems. This failed the 'least privilege' principle and made the bank vulnerable to credential theft. Auditing 'who changed what' was difficult as admins shared generic accounts.

psychology The Solution

Implemented a Privileged Access Management (PAM) vault. When an admin needs access, they input a valid ticket number (ServiceNow). The system generates a temporary certificate or injects the credential for one session. All keystrokes are recorded.
