Provisioning

Provisioning

Zilla Provisioning is Zilla Security’s user access request and lifecycle management product. It enables users to get the job-appropriate access they need quickly and efficiently with a process that is automated and auditable. Zilla delivers system-verified access provisioning, allowing your organization to leverage existing ITSM investments, improve productivity, and maintain a strong security posture by taking away the manual work that would be required.

Zilla Provisioning also provides our customers the ability to easily implement JML (Joiner, Mover, Leaver) user lifecycle management policies that make onboarding and offboarding effortless through intelligent automation. When used in conjunction with Zilla AI Profiles™, Zilla can provision new users with the right access to business-critical applications, allowing them to be immediately productive on day one. As employees leave the organization, Zilla Provisioning can quickly disable user access to keep your identity perimeter secure. Lastly, as employees change roles or move within your organization, mover policies ensure employees bring just the right permissions to their new role, eliminating privilege creep.

Terminology

Zilla Provisioning: Zilla’s solution for user lifecycle management and access requests

Joiners: Someone (for example, an employee or contractor) who joins your organization and needs to be onboarded with appropriate access

Movers: Someone in your organization whose role changes (for example, they receive a promotion, change departments or teams, or move departments due to restructuring)

Leavers: Someone who departs the organization and needs to be offboarded and needs their access temporarily or permanently revoked

Policy: A customer-defined set of provisioning rules that, when triggered by a lifecycle event, enables a joiner, mover, or leaver workflow based on the policy definition

Prerequisites: Actions a policy workflow needs to take in sequence before it can proceed (for example, wait for a new user to be created in Entra ID)

Lifecycle Event: A joiner, mover, or leaver event triggered that triggers an enabled provisioning policy (a lifecycle event typically has several individual provisioning and/or deprovisioning requests associated with it)

Requests: An individual provisioning or deprovisioning request either created by a user through an ITSM or generated automatically by a lifecycle event
