Summary

Boundary is a modern privileged access management (PAM) platform that enhances infrastructure security while simplifying access to infrastructure resources for end users. It integrates with Microsoft Privileged Identity Management (PIM) for temporary access based on request and approval workflows, allowing organizations to continue using existing standard practices and workflows for approvals. The just-in-time approval workflow ensures that certain privileged roles are restricted until a request and approval have been issued, and approved roles can be limited to a temporary time period. This automated process reduces the need for administrators to manually make configuration changes each time elevated permissions are requested or expired.
