Solution Brief

MongoDB is a popular open-source NoSQL database that uses a document-oriented model. It stores data in a flexible, JSON-like format, allowing developers to work with evolving or unstructured datasets. Known for its scalability, high performance, and ease of use, MongoDB supports features like indexing, replication, and sharding, making it widely adopted in modern web applications, analytics, and real-time data processing.

Integration Overview

Apono helps organizations achieve Zero Standing Privileges (ZSP) by eliminating permanent privileged access to systems, cloud environments, databases, and other critical resources.

Apono continuously discovers MongoDB clusters, roles, custom roles, databases, and collections, empowering security teams to enforce fine-grained, dynamic, and context-aware access policies. Through just-in-time (JIT) and just-enough-access (JEA) provisioning, access to MongoDB resources is granted only when required and automatically revoked—reducing over-privileged accounts, minimizing the attack surface, and maintaining operational agility without compromising security.

Use Cases

JIT and Just Enough Access

Provision real-time access to Mongo clusters.
Ensure right-sized permissions and enforce strict controls on access provisioning.
Minimize unauthorized access risk and reduce the blast radius of security breaches.

Operational Efficiency

Reduce coordination overhead between DevOps, security, and engineering teams with self-service, policy-driven access.
Accelerate time-to-access for developers while ensuring security teams retain full oversight and control.

Risk and Compliance

Achieve Zero Standing Privilege by reducing over-privileged and unused permissions by over 90%.
Protect sensitive data (PII, PHI, PCI) and simplify audits with detailed reporting, anomaly detection, and full access logs.
Meet your customer security demands with granular access controls and full visibility into database access.
