Abstract
Systems and methods for time bound session management for Operational Technology (OT) applications using Cron expression policies over zero trust. Various embodiments include receiving a request to an end system from a user; determining that the request requires a time-based approval; performing one or more time-based policy checks associated with the request; and allowing or denying the request based on the one or more time-based policy checks. The steps can further include monitoring an active session between the user and the end system; and timing out the active session based on time-based policy checks.
