Eliminate standing and excessive privileges in Azure

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

Microsoft Azure is a cloud computing platform and service created by Microsoft. It provides a broad set of on-demand services – including virtual machines, databases, networking, storage, AI/ML, and developer tools – that organizations use to build, deploy, and manage applications through Microsoft’s global network of data centers.

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 Azure Subscriptions or entire Management Groups, continuously discovering your environment – from core services like Blob Storage, AKS, Virtual Machines, and Functions to supporting components such as databases (Azure SQL, PostgreSQL, Cosmos DB), Data Factory, and ML Workspace. 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 Azure 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

  • Provide real-time access to Azure.
  • 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 Azure environment by over 96%.
  • Meet customer security demands with granular access controls and full visibility into sensitive customer data across your Azure environment.
  • Simplify audits with detailed reporting, anomaly detection, and comprehensive access activity logs.
