Easily configure dynamic access workflows, grant detailed permissions, and generate a comprehensive audit trail that outlines the who, why, and when of access to Cosmos DB.

Note: You can also choose to integrate RDS or Azure SQL

Cosmos DB is a globally distributed database service provided by Microsoft Azure. It is designed to handle large volumes of structured and semi-structured data across multiple geographic regions. Cosmos DB offers high availability and low latency through its multi-model approach, which supports various data models such as key-value, graph, column-family, and document-based databases. This flexibility allows developers to choose the most suitable data model for their specific application requirements. Cosmos DB also provides automatic indexing, horizontal scalability, and built-in support for multi-master replication, making it an ideal choice for modern cloud-based applications that require fast and reliable access to data.

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.

Google Workspace

Apono logo

Just-in-Time Access for Google Workspace Groups

Apono works with Google Workspace to make your infrastructure easy to access, manage, and audit. Apono empowers you to craft dynamic Access Flows, providing on-demand permissions with meticulous granularity and comprehensive audit capabilities.

Google Workspace, formerly known as G Suite, is a collection of cloud-based productivity and collaboration tools developed by Google. It includes a suite of applications designed to help individuals, teams, and organizations communicate, collaborate, and manage their work more effectively.

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.

Secure Break-glass Access

  • Manage break-glass access, balancing the need for emergency access with the imperative of maintaining robust security measures.
  • Implement comprehensive  logging and monitoring systems to track and record break-glass access events.
  • Dynamically grant only the permissions needed for the task at hand to prevent downtime and costly mistakes in production.
