Tenable JIT

Fast track approvals

Cloud identities are the keys to accessing resources. If identities are compromised, they give attackers access to your sensitive data and systems. Securing identities and access is critical. With the Tenable self-service JIT portal and messaging tool integrations, you can serve developers and DevOps in their agile development environment while protecting your cloud environment.

• Enable developers to make quick requests, notify approvers and provide temporary access
• Enforce granular least-privilege policies and avoid standing privileges
• Monitor user activity during sessions with temporarily elevated permissions generate reports for all JIT-related activity

Enforce least privilege right

Using Tenable’s JIT capability, you can provide the right privileged access to the right resources at the right time, for the right amount of time — and for the right reasons. Grant approvals based on business justification, at minimal disruption to workflows. Enforce least privilege along two dimensions — permissions and time.

Grant fast approvals with JIT self-service workflows

Minimize the risk of attackers exploiting excessive privileges by granting users access for the smallest amount of time needed to complete a task. Tenable’s JIT portal and integration with messaging tools, such as Slack, drives self-service workflows. Your engineering teams are empowered to easily request and gain authorized access to the resources they need. Tenable’s JIT takes a fine-grained approach to entitlement management that grants secure, time-bound privileged access in the cloud.

• Save engineering teams time by enabling them to quickly submit a request, notify approvers and gain temporary access
• Simplify operations by automating access request and consent functions
• Apply JIT access to your Kubernetes clusters, too

Achieve zero standing privileges in your cloud

Your engineering teams need broad and elevated privileges and entitlements to stand up and manage cloud infrastructures. Yet, you should only grant access on an as-needed basis — for a limited time and right-sized to avoid excessive permissions. Tenable grants authorized access for a predefined period of time, after which it automatically terminates access and revokes temporary permissions. Using Tenable Cloud Security’s JIT, you can achieve and maintain zero standing privileges.

• Minimize your cloud attack surface by enforcing fine-grained least-privilege policies and avoiding use of standing privileges
• Flexibly grant access to sensitive cloud environments via the AWS console or API

Continuously audit and govern access through JIT security

Improve your multi-cloud security posture with continuous compliance monitoring. Meet data privacy mandates including GDPR, HIPAA and NIST. Visualize the “who, what and when” of resource access and permissions elevation, including approver and justification. Maintain an audit trail and investigate access activity with intelligent cloud security posture management (CSPM). This includes all JIT session activity, access requests and authorizations, in a dedicated view. Using built-in reports, your teams can communicate with stakeholders about internal compliance, external audits and daily security activities including by users during elevated sessions, past requests and the underlying authorization process.

Experience complete cloud-native security without agents

Tenable enables JIT access as part of its comprehensive cloud-native application protection platform (CNAPP) for AWS, Azure and Google Cloud environments. The agentless platform automates security and compliance from development to runtime.
