Just-in-Time Access (JIT)
Just-in-Time Access (JIT) is a security approach that grants users access to resources only when needed and for a limited duration. This minimizes the risk of unauthorized access by reducing the number of users with persistent privileges and limiting the exposure of sensitive systems. JIT is often used in combination with identity and access management (IAM) solutions to enhance security and reduce attack surfaces.
