Sonrai Security Launches AI-Powered Just-in-Time Access for AWS Cloud Security

Sonrai Security announced the launch of Just-in-Time Access, a new capability within the Sonrai Cloud Permissions Firewall for AWS that addresses one of the most significant unresolved risks in cloud security. The solution eliminates standing privileges in production environments while maintaining operational agility through seamless integration with Amazon Bedrock for AI-powered session summaries of privileged user activities.

The JIT Access feature enables temporary, on-demand permissions without requiring proxies, jump boxes, or complex deployments. This approach aligns with zero-trust principles and security best practices by granting teams access only when needed and for the minimum necessary duration. Every session becomes fully auditable with AI-generated summaries built using Amazon Bedrock, providing immediate clarity on activities during elevated access without the need for screen recordings or manual log reviews.

Unlike traditional Privileged Access Management tools that often rely on manual reviews or cumbersome infrastructure, Sonrai's cloud-native solution is cost-effective and deploys in hours rather than months. The integration with Amazon Bedrock allowed Sonrai's engineering team to deliver rich, AI-driven session summaries in weeks rather than months, without additional vendor overhead, security reviews, or infrastructure complexity.

The AI-powered session summaries are critical for audits, investigations, and compliance requirements, transforming raw logs into intelligent, human-readable insights that provide necessary context without extra effort. Any anomalous activity during privileged sessions is automatically highlighted, enhancing security monitoring capabilities. The solution is now available for AWS customers using the Sonrai Cloud Permissions Firewall, with Azure and GCP support planned for future release.

This development represents a significant advancement in cloud security by combining just-in-time access principles with artificial intelligence to mitigate the risks associated with standing privileges while supporting the operational needs of development teams. The integration demonstrates how cloud-native security solutions can leverage AWS services like Amazon Bedrock to deliver sophisticated security capabilities rapidly and efficiently.
