Axiom Security Break Glass Access

Axiom Security Break Glass Access is a privileged access management feature that provides controlled, time-limited emergency access to critical systems during incidents. It integrates with on-call management platforms to verify responder status before provisioning elevated permissions. When an incident is triggered in a connected on-call system, the designated on-call personnel can initiate a break glass access request. The system verifies the requester's on-call status and role against pre-configured policies, then grants elevated access immediately. Access is bounded by configurable time limits and is automatically revoked after the incident is resolved or the time limit expires. Key operational characteristics: - Access activation is initiated via a one-click mechanism using pre-defined emergency access roles - Security teams receive automatic notifications upon access activation - All actions performed under elevated access are logged in a detailed audit trail - Post-incident review capabilities allow security teams to analyze access events - Approval workflows can be configured for break glass activation The product is designed for use cases such as critical infrastructure failures, security incidents requiring rapid investigation, database or application emergencies, and network outages requiring immediate administrative access. Implementation involves connecting Axiom to an on-call platform, defining emergency access roles and permissions, designing approval workflows, and training on-call teams.
