Sonrai Security has launched a groundbreaking Just-in-Time (JIT) Access feature within its Cloud Permissions Firewall for AWS, utilizing artificial intelligence to redefine cloud access privilege management. This solution marks a significant advancement in cloud security by eliminating the need for persistent access permissions in production environments, instead offering temporary access that adheres to zero-trust security frameworks. The integration of Amazon Bedrock facilitates AI-generated session summaries, providing organizations with detailed insights into privileged user activities without the manual overhead of log reviews.
Brendan Hannigan, CEO of Sonrai Security, highlighted the inherent risks associated with standing access in cloud security, a challenge the JIT Access solution effectively mitigates. By ensuring permissions are granted only when necessary and for the minimal required duration, the solution enhances security without compromising operational efficiency. This approach represents a departure from conventional Privileged Access Management (PAM) tools, offering a cloud-native alternative that can be deployed rapidly, often within hours.
The collaboration with Amazon Bedrock not only accelerates the development of intelligent session summaries but also delivers immediate context regarding elevated access activities. Among the solution's key benefits are its security-first architecture, seamless integration with AWS, reduced time to market, and the flexibility to deploy cost-effective AI models. Matt Carle, Head of Product at Sonrai Security, pointed out the solution's capacity to produce easily understandable insights from privileged sessions, eliminating the need for additional manual analysis.
Initially available to AWS customers utilizing the Sonrai Cloud Permissions Firewall, the company has announced plans to extend support to Azure and Google Cloud Platform in upcoming releases. For more information, visit https://www.sonraisecurity.com.
