CyberArk, the global leader in privileged access management, unveiled new just-in-time access capabilities that help reduce risk and improve operational efficiency as organizations implement broader least privilege strategies.

New CyberArk capabilities feature short-lived SSH certificate authentication to secure access to existing or newly created instances in Linux systems without the need to manually manage accounts and credentials.

Temporary elevation: With recent just-in-time elevation and access features in CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager, organizations can grant temporary local admin access to Windows and Macs workstations as well as Unix and Linux servers on a per-request basis for a fixed length of time.

Broker and remove access - In addition to the new CyberArk Just-in-Time Access with SSH Certificate Authentication delivered via CyberArk Core Privileged Access Security or CyberArk Privilege Cloud, the company's privileged access management as a service offering, CyberArk Alero also provides just-in-time access to third party remote users.

"Just-in-time is a function of an overall privileged access management program that reinforces least privilege principles. When coupled with other foundational elements, it becomes a key part of an evolving strategy for protecting privileged access," said Nir Gertner, chief security strategist, CyberArk. "By delivering the industry's most comprehensive portfolio of just-in-time capabilities, CyberArk helps organizations reduce standing privileged access risk, simplify operations and strengthen their overall security posture across hybrid IT environments."
