Managing Just-in-Time Access with Jump Gate: Approvals and Audit Trails

In this 90-minute hands-on lab, you’ll stand up Tanium Jump Gate in Tanium Cloud to replace standing administrator privileges with just-in-time, just-enough access — a Zero Trust, least-privilege approach that shrinks the attack surface left exposed by always-on admin rights. You’ll configure Jump Gate end-to-end by scoping access, creating and prioritizing access policies with the right approvers, and tuning request and session settings like timeouts and concurrent-session limits, then run the full request-to-session workflow from the user side by searching for a target, submitting an access request, and initiating a jump session. You’ll then switch to approver and auditor roles — reviewing requests with full context, approving or denying inline, and walking the Jump Gate audit trail to verify exactly who accessed what, when, and why.

Pre-Req(s): Basic familiarity with the Tanium Console UI — navigating modules/workbenches and common UI patterns, Basic endpoint/IT concepts — what RDP/shell access is, why approvals matter, and what least-privilege means
