What technique should be used to restrict dedicated administrative access to only the necessary times when it is needed, thereby reducing the exposure time of elevated privileges?
Just-in-time permissions restrict the timeframe during which administrative or elevated rights are granted to users, minimizing the potential for misuse of those privileges. By limiting access to only when it is required for a specific task and automatically revocating those permissions after a set time, the attack window is reduced. This prevents risks associated with standing privileged accounts, which could be exploited if compromised.
