Tenable Enhances Its Cloud Security Solution with Expanded Just-in-Time Access

Tenable has enhanced its Just-in-Time (JIT) Access capabilities to provide more comprehensive and streamlined cloud security for organizations.

The Just-in-Time (JIT) Access feature significantly strengthens cloud security by granting temporary, need-based access to sensitive resources, minimizing the risks associated with persistent privileges.

This approach offers several critical benefits for organizations striving to enhance their cloud security posture:

  • Reduced Attack Surface: By eliminating always-on privileges, JIT Access significantly minimizes the window of opportunity for attackers to exploit compromised identities.
  • Enhanced Security Posture: Granting access only when required and for a limited duration adheres to the principle of least privilege, mitigating the risk of both external threats and insider misuse.
  • Seamless User Experience: Tenable's JIT Access offers user-friendly workflows, including integration with popular messaging platforms like Slack and Microsoft Teams, allowing users to request and receive necessary access without disrupting their productivity.
  • Improved Auditability and Compliance: The solution provides a clear and comprehensive audit trail of all access requests, approvals, and session activities, simplifying compliance with various regulatory frameworks.
  • Achieving Zero Standing Privileges: Tenable's JIT Access empowers organizations to move towards a "zero standing privileges" model in their cloud environments, a critical step in modern cybersecurity.
