Bastion
A Bastion is a controlled intermediary used to broker and monitor access to sensitive technical targets.
Definition
A Bastion is a privileged access control point that sits between administrators and sensitive systems such as servers, databases, network devices, or appliances. Its role is to centralize session initiation, reduce direct exposure of targets, and strengthen monitoring and access control for high-risk technical administration.
The Ariovis perspective
Privileged security should begin by reducing standing privilege, governing accounts and automating grants and revocations. Vaults, bastions and session controls are reserved for the use cases that genuinely need them.
