Eliminate standing and excessive privileges in GCP

Enable Just-in-Time (JIT) and Just-Enough Access (JEA) in your GCP environment.

Google Cloud Platform (GCP) is a suite of cloud computing services that lets organizations build, deploy, and scale applications on the same reliable, secure infrastructure Google uses for its own products. With GCP, businesses gain access to powerful tools for compute, storage, data analytics, AI/ML, and security—helping developers and IT teams innovate faster, reduce costs, and operate at a global scale.

 

Integration Overview

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

Apono integrates with individual GCP Projects or entire GCP Organizations, continuously discovering your environment – from core services like BigQuery, Cloud Storage, Cloud Run, GKE, and to supporting components such as databases (Cloud Spanner, Cloud SQL, Bigtable) and IAM resources (Cloud KMS, Secret Manager). This visibility enables security teams to enforce fine-grained, dynamic, and context-aware access policies.

Through Just-in-Time (JIT) and Just-Enough Access (JEA) provisioning, access to GCP resources 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 GCP environment.
  • 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 with Apono.

Risk and Compliance

  • Achieve Zero Standing Privilege by reducing over-privileged and unused permissions to your GCP environment by over 96%.
  • Meet customer security demands with granular access controls and full visibility into sensitive customer data across your GCP environment.
  • Simplify audits with detailed reporting, anomaly detection, and comprehensive access activity logs.
