Many organizations have reduced access to their production systems from IT personnel in order to minimize risk and meet regulatory demands. Organizations recognize that IT team members and users must be granted temporary access from time to time. As simple as it sounds, providing emergency access or firefighter in many organizations is a tedious task. Having a member, the security team review the request, grant the temporary access and follow up to remove access once the project is completed along with providing a well-documented trail is cumbersome.
By utilizing an automated solution such as ProfileTailor Emergency Access, organizations will be able to provision emergency access with security approved workflows and produce audit ready reporting since ProfileTailor grants access to users and not IDs.
