Question

SecurityTalent knowledge answer. Members may add responsible, source-based context; do not post secrets, personal data, exam dumps or recalled live exam questions.

 · Accepted Answer

Just-in-time access is a cybersecurity control or practice. It supports this objective: provides elevated privileges only for an approved task and limited duration. The implementation should still be validated against the organization's risk, architecture, legal obligations and operating constraints, then adapted rather than copied unchanged between environments.
