Cybersecurity is a complex term, it’s become all-encompassing and constantly evolving to include new and emerging technologies, attacks, actors, and a myriad of other points. What this means for organizations large, medium, and small is that each must have a cybersecurity plan in place.

Application security is particularly important in the banking and financial technology sector, where a single breach can put large portions of sensitive information at risk. How to manage that risk is a complex process that affects how teams secure applications across their software supply chain.
Just-in-time (JIT) access is a cybersecurity feature where users, applications, or systems are granted access to resources only when needed and for a limited time. This approach limits the risk of privileged accounts gaining unauthorized access to sensitive data. JIT access is often used in conjunction with other security measures—such as multi-factor authentication and encryption—to provide a strong, layered defense against threats.
