Description
Apono is a cloud permission management platform designed to automate and simplify the process of granting permissions across your entire cloud stack. It replaces standing privileges by dynamically creating access at runtime, scoped to the exact need and enforced in context. This approach ensures that access is automatically revoked when no longer needed, reducing security risks associated with unused standing privileges.
Apono is trusted by security teams worldwide for its ability to eliminate standing privilege risks and achieve zero standing privileges. It provides complete visibility into who has privileged access, what they’re doing with it, and when it expires, without relying on manual reviews or periodic audits. This helps organizations maintain control over their security posture while enabling productivity.
The platform integrates seamlessly with popular cloud services like AWS, Azure, GCP, and Kubernetes, allowing it to create roles dynamically based on what's needed, when it's needed, and in the native policy language of these platforms. This eliminates the need for pre-built role libraries and helps organizations scale without role sprawl.
Apono also enhances the developer experience by allowing engineers to request and receive access through familiar tools like Slack, CLI, and service workflows. This ensures that security controls happen at request time, not as a manual approval bottleneck, keeping teams productive while enforcing least privilege.
For compliance, Apono provides AI-generated session summaries that replace hours of video review with an instant, readable audit trail. Every access request, approval, and session action is automatically logged with full business context, making audits straightforward.
Apono's platform is divided into three modules: Infrastructure Guard, Privileged Cloud, and Agent Privilege Guard. Each module addresses specific needs, from securing on-prem and hybrid infrastructure to extending zero standing privileges across cloud platforms and applying just-in-time methodology to non-human identities.
