JITGate

JITGate is a web app (with optional Slack/Teams integration) that enforces just-in-time, time-boxed access to sensitive systems like AWS IAM roles, Kubernetes clusters, production databases, and internal admin panels. Instead of standing privileges, engineers request access for a specific reason and duration; approvers get a clean, auditable decision screen with risk context (who, what, when, last used, ticket link). JITGate then issues short-lived credentials or triggers automated role binding, and revokes access automatically when the window closes. It also detects “permission creep” by flagging repeated requests that should become a safer workflow (e.g., break-glass runbooks) rather than permanent access. This is a traditional app with a small AI component to summarize request context and suggest least-privilege scopes—nothing magical, just practical automation. It’s built for companies that are too small for a full PAM suite but too exposed to keep winging it.
