Manage least-privilege access across your GitHub repositories, organization roles, and teams.

Achieve Just-in-Time and Just Enough Access for the GitHub platform.

Docs

GitHub is a cloud-based platform for storing, sharing, and collaborating on code. It uses Git, a version control system, to track changes so developers can work together without overwriting each other’s work. Teams and individuals use GitHub to manage projects, review code, report issues, and automate workflows – making it a central hub for software development.

Integration Overview:

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

With Apono, all your GitHub repositories, organization roles, and teams are continuously discovered, enabling security teams to enforce fine-grained, dynamic, time-bound, and context-aware access policies across GitHub environments.
Example use cases include:

A developer working on the frontend repo only gets write access there, but read-only access to backend repos.
A frontend developer granted write access only to the frontend repository, while maintaining read-only access to backend repositories.
The DevOps team holds admin rights on deployment repositories, while the QA team retains read-only access for testing and code reviews.

Through Just-in-Time (JIT) and Just-Enough-Access (JEA) provisioning, access to GitHub is granted only when needed and automatically revoked, reducing over-privileged accounts, minimizing the attack surface, and preserving operational agility without compromising security.

Use Cases

JIT and Just Enough Access

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

Operational Efficiency

Eliminate manual access requests and ticketing delays by automating access workflows for engineers.
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 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 customers’ data.
