S3

Just-in-Time Access To S3

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

S3

Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service) is a cloud storage service provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS). It is designed to store and retrieve any amount of data from anywhere on the web. Amazon S3 is often used for backup and archiving, as well as for web and mobile applications, data lakes, and big data analytics.

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 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.

Kubernetes

Eliminate Standing and Excess Privileges in Your Kubernetes Environment

Enable Just-in-Time (JIT) and Just-Enough Access (JEA) for Kubernetes — with Apono support on AWS EKS, Azure AKS, and Google Cloud GKE.

Docs
Kubernetes

Kubernetes is an open-source container orchestration platform, originally developed by Google. It automates the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications, providing a framework to run them reliably across clusters of hosts.

Integration Overview:

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

Through its integration with Kubernetes, Apono continuously discovers all Kubernetes resources — including clusters, namespaces, secrets, ConfigMaps, deployments, StatefulSets, ingresses, CronJobs, and Jobs — while enabling security teams to enforce granular, dynamic, and context-aware access policies tailored to specific R&D teams and use cases.
For example:

  • Admin/DevOps Access for temporary elevated privileges for break-glass scenarios or general maintenance.
  • Developer Access provides mid-tier permissions for everyday tasks, such as deploying applications and troubleshooting within their own namespace.
  • Support Engineer Access limited to specific namespaces to retrieve logs, without requiring full cluster visibility.

With just-in-time (JIT) and just-enough-access (JEA) provisioning, access is granted only when needed 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 Kubernetes resources – namespaces, secrets and more.
  • Ensure right-sized permissions and enforce strict controls on access provisioning.
  • Minimize unauthorized access risk and reduce the blast radius of security breaches.

Secure Break-glass Access

  • Grant just-in-time, task-specific access to on-call engineers during incidents.
  • Scope and revoke access automatically based on context from OnCall and ITSM tools.
  • Ensure fast, secure incident response while enforcing least-privilege access to your Kubernetes environment.

Risk and Compliance

  • Achieve Zero Standing Privilege by reducing over-privileged and unused permissions to Kubernetes resources by over 96%.
  • 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 Kubernetes resource access.

Benefits

With Apono, companies satisfy customer security requirements and dramatically reduce attack surfaces and human errors that threaten commerce.

01

Frictionless Automation

Tailor your organizational workflows by introducing customized automation to systematically and seamlessly enhance identity processes. This strategic initiative aims to optimize the efficiency of discovering, managing, and securing user access within your system. Through the implementation of these tailored workflows, your organization can achieve a more refined and responsive approach to identity management, fostering precision and accuracy in handling user access.

02

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.

03

Single Source of Truth

Centralize and streamline the management of privileges across your entire technology stack by consolidating them within a unified platform. This approach not only enhances efficiency but also facilitates a more comprehensive and cohesive oversight of the various permissions and access levels throughout your system, contributing to a more robust and integrated security framework.

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

Managing Permissions at Scale

Scale operations the right way by creating environment-level policies that govern the creation of “carte blanche” policies.

06

Third-Party Access Flows

Preconfigure access flows for third-party entities such as customers, vendors, or partners. Effective Third-Party Access Flows contribute to enhanced security, compliance, and overall operational efficiency within an organization.

GCP Cloud Spanner

Just-in-Time Access To Cloud Spanner

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

Spanner

Cloud Spanner is a fully managed, globally distributed, horizontally scalable relational database service provided by Google Cloud. It is designed to offer the scalability and performance of a NoSQL database while maintaining the relational model and SQL capabilities of traditional relational databases.

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.
