    Why change Linux access?

    Traditional Linux server access relies on static credentials, usernames, passwords, and predefined access rights. This increases security risk and administrative overhead. Welford IAG eliminates standing access by enforcing a Zero Trust, just-in-time access model.

    • No standing SSH keys/certificates left on user devices
    • No shared privileged passwords distributed to users
    • Access is time-bound and linked to approvals
    • Automatic expiry/revocation and auditable evidence

    How Welford IAG works

    Request. Approve. Connect. Expire. With Welford IAG, there is no need to manually create usernames, passwords, or access rights on Linux servers. Access is requested, approved, and dynamically managed within Welford IAG.

    • RequestA user requests access to a Linux server through Welford IAG.
    • ApproveApprovals are captured and the authorized server appears in the Linux Access Page for the approved duration.
    • ConnectThe user presses Connect and Welford IAG establishes a secure session with no stored credentials.
    • ExpireAccess automatically expires or is revoked when the approval window ends, leaving no lingering access.
