ESCRA Jumphost Reimagined

The core of ESCRA is the Jumphost 2.0 concept. This concept provides a central access point through which users can securely access cloud resources. The jumphost acts as an isolated instance between the end user and the cloud infrastructure, avoiding direct connections to sensitive resources.

Technical Details:

- Browser Isolation: With ESCRA, the connection of the jumphost is protected through browser isolation. Unlike conventional concepts, connections are not simply passed through, preventing the isolation from being weakened by the jumphost.

- Authentication: Multi-factor authentication (MFA) and role-based access controls ensure that only authorized users gain access.

- Logging: All sessions and user actions are logged in detail and can be monitored in real time. These logs are securely stored and can be used for audits and compliance purposes.

Granular Access Management

ESCRA offers comprehensive, granular access management that allows precise control over access rights. Administrators can define detailed permissions for users and groups, minimizing the risk of unauthorized access.

Technical Details:

- Role-Based Access Control (RBAC): Administrators can define roles that encompass specific permissions. These roles are then assigned to users or groups.

- Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC): Access controls can be defined based on user attributes such as department, location, or security level.

- Dynamic Policies: Access policies can be dynamically adjusted to respond to changes in the user structure or security requirements.
