Use Groups and Context-Aware Access with Google Workspace

Enable Zero Standing Privileges in Google Workspace.

Gsuite
Gsuite Groups

Google Workspace is a cloud-based productivity and collaboration suite that includes Gmail, Drive, Docs, Sheets, Meet, and more – helping teams work efficiently and securely from anywhere.

Integration Overview

Apono integrates seamlessly with Google Workspace to deliver Zero Standing Privileges and Just-In-Time (JIT) provisioning to Google Workspace Groups. In addition, Google Workspace enriches Apono’s policy engine with attributes that enhance context-based access control across cloud resources, SaaS applications, internal systems, and SASE platforms.

The integration also enables your organization to use single sign-on (SSO) via Google Workspace  to log in to Apono.

Through JIT provisioning into Google Workspace  groups, users are dynamically added to the right groups so they can access their organization’s internal applications and business tools, such as Salesforce, Slack, Google Drive, Atlassian, Datadog, Monday.com, Zoom, and Office 365. Once their task is complete, they are automatically removed from the Google Workspace  group, eliminating standing privileges.

In parallel, Apono leverages attribute-based SCIM from Google Workspace, consuming attributes such as group mapping, job title, organization, department, locale, timezone, manager and more. These attributes are synced in real time and enforced in Apono’s policy engine to ensure fine-grained, compliant, and context-aware access control, aligned with regulations such as GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI.

Use Cases

JIT and Just Enough Access

  • Leverage user attributes and Google Workspace group membership to provision real-time, granular, context-rich, least-privilege access to cloud resources.
  • Achieve just-in-time user provisioning to Google Workspace groups for customized, real-time organizational access scenarios—such as business applications, SASE platforms, or internal apps.

Project-Based Collaboration

  • Provision users dynamically into Google Workspace groups for temporary project or team assignments, such as cross-functional initiatives or client engagements.
  • Grant contractors temporary access to required SaaS tools (e.g., Jira, Slack, GitHub, Monday.com) and internal applications for the duration of their project.

Risk and Compliance

  • Eliminate standing and over-privileged accounts, as well as unused permissions, to achieve Zero Standing Privileges.
  • Protect sensitive data (PII, PHI, PCI) and maintain audit-ready access logs for complete visibility.
  • Enforce attribute-based, context-aware access policies to ensure regulatory compliance while your workforce accesses your customers’ data.

Jira

Assign Users to Roles in Jira

With Apono you’ll be able to create dynamic Access Flows that grant permissions with high granularity and a full audit.

Coming Soon

Jira is a widely used project management and issue tracking software developed by Atlassian. It is designed to help teams plan, track, and manage their work across various projects and workflows. Jira provides features for agile project management, software development, bug tracking, task management, and more, making it suitable for a wide range of teams and industries.

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.

Use Cases

Developer JIT Access

  • Limit access to the minimum required permissions and implement strict controls on when those permissions are granted. JIT access helps enhance overall security. This proactive approach reduces the risk of unauthorized access and potential security breaches.
  • Integrate JIT access with your incident response plan. In the event of a security incident, having the ability to quickly adjust access permissions can be crucial for containing and mitigating the impact.
  • Utilize JIT access with your identity management systems. This integration streamlines the process of aligning access permissions with changes in user roles, making it more efficient and less prone to errors.
