Empowering Users with Precision and Speed
Legacy PAM tools were designed for administrators—not end users. Axiom turns that on its head.
With Axiom’s Self-Service Just-in-Time Access, end users gain the power to request and use permissions precisely when needed, without waiting for IT or jumping through hoops. Behind the scenes, every request is tightly controlled, auditable, and aligned with your least-privilege policies.
🔑 Key Features
1. Seamless Integration with Collaboration Tools
Axiom integrates deeply with day-to-day collaboration tools and ticketing systems like Slack, Microsoft Teams, Jira, and ServiceNow. This allows users to request and receive access without leaving their preferred platforms, streamlining the workflow and reducing context switching.
2. Granular Least-Privilege Access Controls
Axiom enforces precise access governance through granular controls across various systems:
- Identity Providers: Roles & groups.
- Cloud: Roles and Resource-level permissions.
- Databases: Table-level access.
- GitHub: Repository-level permissions.
- Kubernetes: Namespace-level access.
- Instances: SSH and RDP access to Linux and Windows servers using secure, ephemeral credentials—no friction, no legacy portals.
3. Access Bundles for Streamlined Requests
Users can request multiple permissions from various systems in a single operation through predefined access bundles. Each bundle is labeled with a human-readable name and description that is understandable even to non-technical users, supporting fast and accurate selections.
For example, an “ACME Customer Infrastructure” bundle might include access to:
- A PostgreSQL database
- Two AWS S3 buckets
- One AWS EC2 instance
- Two Okta groups
4. Automated, Policy-Based Workflows
Axiom’s automated workflows evaluate each access request in real-time, considering factors like identity, justification, sensitivity, and context. Low-risk requests are automatically approved, while high-risk ones are routed for additional review.
5. Unified Access Management Interface
Users have a centralized view of all their current access permissions, allowing them to manage, use, and relinquish access as needed. This visibility helps maintain a clear understanding of active permissions.
6. Support for Non-Human Identities
Access isn’t just for individuals. Axiom supports access requests for:
- The requesting user
- Other individuals (delegated access)
- Groups
- Machine identities, such as service accounts or CI/CD systems
This flexibility ensures every identity—human or not—has the right access, when it’s needed.
🛠️ How It Works
- Request: Users initiate access requests via Slack, Teams, Jira, ServiceNow, or the Axiom web UI.
- Verification: Axiom evaluates the request against predefined security policies.
- Approval: Low-risk requests are auto-approved; others are routed for manual review.
- Access Provisioning: Temporary credentials are securely provided.
- Revocation: Access is automatically removed after a set period or when no longer needed.
✅ Benefits
