Standing access in public cloud environments increases risk as attackers can exploit stolen credentials. Just-in-time (JIT) access provisions permissions only when needed, reducing attack surfaces and aligning with Zero Trust principles. It enables digital business by dynamically securing ephemeral workloads, streamlines onboarding, and lowers security burdens. JIT also defends against credential compromise by enforcing least privilege and removing access after tasks are complete. Integrating JIT with PAM centralizes management, improves auditability, reduces infrastructure costs, and enhances scalability. SaaS-based JIT further accelerates adoption, providing lightweight, dynamic, and secure access across hybrid environments.
