The Problem: Emergency Access Is High-Risk and Unstructured
Outages happen. Incidents escalate quickly. And when seconds count, rigid access processes become the bottleneck. But granting admin access ad hoc—especially without guardrails—introduces unacceptable risk.
Axiom’s Approach: Secure Emergency Access, Built for Speed
Axiom provides structured, auditable break-glass workflows. Whether it’s an SRE responding to a production outage or a support engineer needing temporary access to diagnose a customer issue, emergency access is fast—but still governed by policy.
Real-World Flow
- An on-call engineer initiates a break-glass request via Slack
- Axiom verifies on-call status and enforces contextual MFA
- Access is scoped, granted instantly, and auto-expires after the defined window
- All activity is logged and flagged for review post-incident
Why It Matters
You don’t need to trade security for speed. Axiom’s break-glass workflows balance both.
✅ Enable real-time incident response
✅ Eliminate always-on superuser accounts
✅ Maintain full auditability—even under pressure
