Ephemeral Gateway for Remote Access

A machine-readable storage device having instructions for execution by a processor of a machine to cause the processor to perform operations to perform a method, the operations comprising:

• receiving a time window for allowing access to an asset in a local area network;
• instantiating an ephemeral gateway to provide access to the asset during the time window;
• and
• identifying time window limited access credentials required for a first remote user to access the ephemeral gateway to gain access to the asset only during the time window.

A device comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory device coupled to the processor and having a program stored thereon for execution by the processor to perform operations comprising:
• receiving a time window for allowing access to an asset in a local area network;
• instantiating an ephemeral gateway to provide access to the asset during the time window;
• and
• identifying time window limited access credentials required for a first remote user to access the ephemeral gateway to gain access to the asset only during the time window.
