Eliminate Standing Privileges and Enforce Secure, Right-Sized Access to PostgreSQL

Achieve Just-in-Time and Just Enough Access for streamlined, secure database operations—with Apono also supporting PostgreSQL on AWS RDS, Azure, and Google Cloud

Docs

Solution Brief

PostgreSQL, often referred to as “Postgres,” is an open-source relational database management system (RDBMS). It is known for its advanced features, extensibility, and adherence to SQL standards. PostgreSQL supports a wide range of data types and has a reputation for being a powerful and robust database solution.

Integration Overview

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

Apono’s PostgreSQL integration continuously discovers instances, tables, schemas, and roles, while enabling security teams to enforce fine-grained, dynamic, context-aware access policies. With just-in-time (JIT) and just-enough-access (JEA) provisioning, access 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 PostgreSQL instances.
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 by over 90%.
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 database access.
