Weekly Workflow: Just In Time Provisioning to an RDS Database

A DevSecOps engineer panicked after discovering that a developer was granted indefinite access to a critical RDS database. Realizing the potential threat, they quickly adopted Blink to implement Just-In-Time provisioning.

With Blink, access to databases is only granted upon approval and automatically revoked after a set duration, ensuring no lingering access.

‍Here's how it works:

‍Automated Access Requests: When a developer requests access to an RDS database, Blink's workflow triggers an approval process, ensuring only authorized users get temporary access.

‍Time-Bound Access Control: Access is automatically revoked after a predefined period, eliminating lingering permissions and reducing the risk of unauthorized data access.

‍Approval & Notifications: Blink integrates with Slack and email to notify approvers and track access requests in real-time, maintaining a clear audit trail.

By leveraging Blink, organizations can automate access management, enhance security, and minimize the risk of data breaches by ensuring access is only granted on a need-to-know, time-limited basis.
