Just-inTime
(JIT)
Create a workflow
Utilize the seamless integration between Athena and Apono to streamline the automated administration of Athena database access. Easily configure dynamic access workflows, grant detailed permissions, and generate a comprehensive audit trail that outlines the who, why, and when of access to Athena.
Just-inTime
(JIT)
Amazon Athena is a serverless, interactive query service provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS). It allows you to analyze data stored in Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) using standard SQL queries. Athena is part of the broader AWS analytics and big data services, and it provides a convenient way to query and analyze large datasets without the need to set up or manage infrastructure.
Just-in-time (JIT) access involves assigning permissions to users or systems in real-time as needed, rather than maintaining continuous access. This strategy is frequently employed in cybersecurity to reduce the risk of security breaches by restricting unnecessary access. It aligns with the principle of least privilege (POLP), emphasizing that users should only have the minimum access levels required to fulfill their tasks.
AWS Use Cases
Benefits
Apono empowers teams to craft dynamic access flows, providing on-demand permissions with meticulous granularity and comprehensive audit capabilities.
Enhance Athena access and permissions transparency, facilitating comprehensive auditing for incident investigation and the implementation of scheduled reporting mechanisms to meet compliance requirements effectively.
Automate Self-Serviceable permissions to Athena databases or schemas directly from Slack, Teams or from your CLI.
Define Athena database and schema permissions as fine-grained as necessary.
Grant third-party (customer or vendor) time-based access to specific buckets, databases or instances with MFA verification.
Self-serve permissions to Cloud SQL database or collections directly from Slack, Teams or from your CLI.
Equip first-responders with the capability to access permissions on demand, while concurrently capturing essential incident context, details of granted access, and the chronological timeline of events.
The implementation of just-in-time privilege escalation serves to mitigate internal threats by ensuring that personnel are granted access to sensitive information or specific operational capabilities only when essential. This precautionary measure helps prevent unauthorized or unintentional data access.
Define access approval workflow based on defined organizational permission guardrails.
Three easy steps are what it takes to create Just-In-Time and Just Enough
