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

Achieve Just-in-Time (JIT) and Just-Enough Access (JEA) for your SSH environments.

Docs

Solution Brief

An SSH server is a service that provides secure, encrypted remote access to a system. It allows users to log in, run commands, transfer files, and manage resources over a protected connection.

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 continuously discovers all your cloud SSH servers, enabling security teams to enforce fine-grained, dynamic, and context-aware access policies. For example, access flows can grant developers read-only access to production servers for log investigation or provide DevOps engineers with temporary privileges. Common use cases include system administration tasks such as installing or updating software, managing services, troubleshooting issues, viewing logs, and terminating processes. Through just-in-time (JIT) and just-enough-access (JEA) provisioning, access to SSH servers is granted only when required 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 SSH server.
Ensure right-sized permissions and enforce strict controls on access provisioning.
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 SSH servers.
