Just-in-time Privileges – Using Context to Determine System Access

We have all faced that moment ...

The 3am call that a critical system is not available. The typical response to this situation is a fire-call – emergency break-glass access to perform critical maintenance on a system to get it back up and running. But very often there is a flaw in the workflow – risk factors such as location, day or time are often not considered when rendering access which could lead to privilege misuse.

In this webninar, Dave Shackleford, SANS Instructor & Founder of Voodoo Security, discusses best practices for assigning just-in-time privileges to systems considering multiple factors related to access.
