Just-in-Time Access To Aerospike

Utilize the seamless integration between Aerospike and Apono to streamline the automated administration of Aerospike 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 Aerospike.

Aerospike is a high-performance, distributed NoSQL database designed for handling large volumes of real-time data with low-latency requirements. It is often used in applications that demand rapid and predictable access to data, such as in web-scale and mission-critical systems.

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.

AKS

Apono logo
AKS

Just-in-Time Access To AKS

Apono liberates DevOps teams to deliver more without delay.

Azure Kubernetes Services (AKS) is a cloud-based container orchestration service offered by Microsoft Azure. It provides a managed environment for deploying, managing, and scaling containerized applications using Kubernetes. With AKS, developers can easily create and manage clusters of virtual machines that run containerized applications.

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.

AKS Use Cases

01

Developer JIT Access

  • Limit access to the minimum required permissions and implementing 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.

Azure SQL

Apono logo
Azure SQL

Just-in-Time Access To Azure SQL

Apono enables the creation of dynamic Access Flows, offering on-demand permissions with precision and thorough audit functionality.

Azure SQL

Azure SQL is a family of fully managed relational database services provided by Microsoft Azure. Azure SQL services provide a flexible and scalable platform for building and managing relational databases in the cloud, with options that cater to a wide range of use cases and requirements.  These services are designed to help developers build, deploy, and manage cloud-based applications that rely on relational database functionality.

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

01

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.

Benefits

Apono automates access to Azure SQL

Apono empowers you to craft dynamic Access Flows, providing on-demand permissions with meticulous granularity and comprehensive audit capabilities.

01

Comprehensive Audit Log

Enhance Azure SQL access and permissions transparency, facilitating comprehensive auditing for incident investigation and the implementation of scheduled reporting mechanisms to meet compliance requirements effectively.

02

Request & Approve via ChatOps

Leverage the power of ChatOps workflows, seamlessly integrating platforms such as Slack and Teams, to both grant and request access in a collaborative and streamlined manner. This innovative approach enhances the accessibility and efficiency of access management within your organizational framework. By incorporating ChatOps, you create an environment where access permissions can be granted or requested through intuitive and user-friendly interfaces, such as chat interfaces in Slack or Teams.

03

Granular Permissions

Define the authorized categories of data and resources for users, groups, and dynamic contexts like on-call shifts. Establish explicit guidelines for access and utilization, ensuring a structured and secure framework. Incorporating dynamic contexts, such as on-call shifts, enhances system adaptability and promotes a nuanced, responsive resource allocation approach based on varying operational requirements.

04

Self-Service Access Requests

Amplify employee productivity through the implementation of an efficient system that empowers individuals to seamlessly discover, request, and obtain access to essential resources in a matter of minutes. This transformative approach not only expedites operational efficiency but also cultivates an environment characterized by heightened agility and responsiveness.

05

Incident Response Access Flows

Gain the advantage of instant and on-demand access to swiftly address and remediate any production errors that may arise. This expedited access empowers your team to promptly identify and rectify issues, minimizing downtime and ensuring the continuous, seamless operation of your production environment. By facilitating real-time access for remediation purposes, you enhance your organization’s agility and responsiveness, enabling efficient problem-solving and bolstering the overall reliability of your systems.

06

Time-Restricted Access

Rather than providing access for an indefinite duration, consider implementing a more strategic approach by opting for time-bound access provisioning. This nuanced strategy involves assigning access permissions for a specified and predetermined period, enhancing the control and security of your access management practices. By adopting time-bound access, your organization gains the flexibility to align permissions precisely with the temporal requirements of specific tasks or roles.

Just-in-Time Access To Blob Storage

Apono liberates DevOps teams to deliver more without delay.

Blob storage is a type of cloud storage service that is specifically designed to store large amounts of unstructured data, such as images, videos, audio files, and documents. The term “blob” stands for Binary Large OBject, and it refers to the fact that the data stored in blob storage is typically stored in a binary format. Blob storage is commonly used in a wide range of applications, including content delivery, backup and restore, data archiving, and media streaming.
