Just-in-Time Access To Oracle Database

Utilize the seamless integration between Oracle Database and Apono to streamline the automated administration of Oracle Database access. Easily configure dynamic access workflows, grant detailed permissions, and generate a comprehensive audit trail that outlines the who, why, and when of access to Oracle Database.

Oracle Database is a relational database management system (RDBMS) developed by Oracle Corporation. It is one of the most widely used and well-known database systems in the world. Oracle Database provides a robust and scalable platform for managing and storing data, and it is often used by large enterprises for critical business applications.

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.

Benefits

Apono automates access management to Oracle Database

Apono empowers teams to craft dynamic access flows, providing on-demand permissions with meticulous granularity and comprehensive audit capabilities.

01

Comprehensive Audit Log

Enhance access and permissions transparency, facilitating comprehensive auditing for incident investigation and the implementation of scheduled reporting mechanisms to meet compliance requirements effectively.

02

Granular Database Access

Define and configure OracleDB database and schema permissions with precision to align seamlessly with your system’s nuanced requirements. This granularity allows meticulous access control, tailoring permissions to specific attributes and functionalities. Customizing access parameters enhances Oracle Database security and creates an adaptable, scalable structure for evolving data management processes.

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

Restricted Third-Party Access

Facilitate time-based access for third parties, be they customers or vendors, by granting specific permissions to designated buckets, databases, or instances. This enhanced security measure incorporates Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) verification, ensuring that third parties authenticate their identity through multiple factors before gaining access.

05

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.

06

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.

How Apono works in 3 steps

Three easy steps are what it takes to create Just-In-Time and Just Enough
permissions for everyone with access to your cloud assets and resources.

01
Connect Apono to Oracle Database:

Automatically discover all resources managed by Oracle Database.

02
Create a Workflow:

Define dynamic permission workflows and approval processes.

03
Get Started:

And that’s it! Now your team can directly request access to granular resources in a single click, automatically provisioned when you need it or shipped for approval – no more waiting for permissions or leaving them behind.
