Your admin account is the biggest security risk you own.
GPG Just-In-Time Privilege Elevation removes that risk before it becomes a nightmare. Instead of leaving admin rights always on, it delivers them for a short, deliberate window—granted cryptographically, logged immutably, revoked automatically. The attack surface shrinks. Lateral movement dies before it begins.
Permanent privileges are an open door. Even the best monitoring can’t undo the damage once credentials are stolen. JIT privilege elevation ensures no standing keys, no persistent secrets, no stale SSH keys drifting in forgotten servers. With GPG as the trust anchor, every elevation request is signed and verifiable. Authorization is proven, not assumed.
Integration is straightforward. Your identity management stays intact. Your workflow stays lean. Approvals can run through existing CI/CD triggers or chat-based commands. The process is silent until it’s needed, then decisive. No more shared root passwords. No more untracked sudoers edits.
The gains are immediate:
- Reduced privilege exposure for production systems.
- Strong cryptographic proof for every elevation event.
- Full audit trails baked into your deployment pipeline.
- Minimal disruption to developer velocity.
GPG Just-In-Time Privilege Elevation is not theory—it’s a live control you can enable now. It turns the oldest security weakness into a predictable, scoped event you can measure and trust.
