Co-pilot coverage is available now. GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code, and other co-pilots are already running in your environment with inherited user privileges. Apono secures them today with zero additional configuration.

The Problem
The privileges that make agents productive are the same privileges that put your organization at risk.
Agents need broad privilege to deliver value. Standing access to sensitive resources is what creates the risk. Legacy tools can’t resolve that tension.
01
Standing privileges create continuous, organization-wide exposure.
Agents carry standing access into every task, whether they need it or not. That persistent availability expands your attack surface and blast radius.
02
Agents with broad standing privileges can be tricked into misusing them.
Just like humans, agents can be socially engineered into taking dangerous actions and lack common sense that can lead to harm in sensitive environments.
03
Agents make decisions you can’t anticipate at policy creation time.
Legacy IAM controls using static policies can’t control or support the speed of non-deterministic agents, creating bottlenecks and increasing risk.
Intent-Based Access Control
Privilege decisions based on what the agent is actually trying to do.
Apono analyzes agent intent in real time and assesses whether the privileges being requested are appropriate for the task at hand. When intent and privilege sensitivity align, agents move without friction. When they don’t, humans stay in control.
Low-sensitivity privileges, intent confirmed. Provisioned instantly, scoped to the task, with no human intervention required.
Sensitive privileges requested. A human is notified in Slack to approve or deny before anything executes.
Privilege sensitivity exceeds policy threshold The request is denied. The action never runs.
Every decision is logged intent, outcome, credential lifetime, and downstream actions for a complete audit trail.
Dynamic Guardrails
Exponential velocity. Without the exponential risk.
Agents let enterprise teams operate at a scale no human team could match. But velocity without privilege guardrails is how serious incidents happen.
Apono’s Intent-Based Access Controls are the guardrails that make both possible. Configure privilege sensitivity thresholds per resource group. Low-risk privileges flow freely. Sensitive ones require human approval or are denied entirely. Policies adapt to business context, not just static rules.
The Solution
See every agent. Enforce every policy. Prove every action.
Discover
Enforce
Audit
See every agent and everything it can reach.
Apono maps every agent across your integrated environments surfacing identities, tool connections, and resource access across AWS, Azure, GCP, and 200+ services.
Give agents exactly what they need. Nothing more.
Apono generates ephemeral credentials at the moment of request, scoped to the specific task. Configure Intent-Based Access Controls per resource group. Safe operations flow automatically. Sensitive ones don't.
A complete record of every action every agent took.
Every privilege request, stated intent, approval decision, and downstream action is logged in one place. Audits become a report, not a project.
How It Works
From privilege request to full revocation. Every time.
Five steps. Evaluated at runtime. Zero Standing Privileges achieved.
›
01
Declare Intent
The agent states what it intends to do and why. Apono requires it. Intent is what every downstream privilege decision is based on.
›
02
Evaluate Risk
Real-time assessment of intent against privilege sensitivity, behavioral patterns, and asset classification. Risk is scored before any privilege is granted.
›
03
Grant Temporary Privilege
Ephemeral credentials generated and injected Just-in-Time. Scoped to the task. Minimum privileges only. Active for the duration of the work, nothing more.
›
04
Enforce During Execution
Continuous monitoring as the agent works. Behavior deviates from stated intent? Controls adapt in real time.
05
Revoke and Learn
Privileges are revoked the moment the task ends. Zero standing privileges restored. Each interaction sharpens the adaptive trust model.
Built Into Your Workflow
Approvals in Slack. Agents on your MCP server. No new portals.
Security that requires a context switch gets bypassed. Apono embeds directly into the tools your team already uses.
- Agents connect to infrastructure and databases through Apono's MCP server, no separate tooling required
- Privilege requests requiring human approval surface in Slack with full context and one-click approve or deny
- Engineers never leave their CLI to manage agent privilege requests
- Works natively with GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code, and any MCP-compatible agent
Unified Platform
Secure every identity. Start with what you have today.
Your co-pilots are already running. GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code active in your environment right now, carrying developer-level permissions with no guardrails.
Apono extends your existing JIT policies to cover them immediately with zero extra configuration. As your deployment scales toward fully autonomous agents, the platform scales with you.
One security posture. Every identity. No exceptions.
Everything you need to evaluate Apono Agent Privilege Guard.
Standing privilege means an agent holds persistent access to resources whether it’s actively using them or not. For agents, this matters more than it does for humans. Agents operate continuously, make many autonomous decisions, and can be manipulated through their inputs. An agent with standing admin access doesn’t need to be breached it just needs a bad instruction. Apono replaces standing access with ephemeral credentials that only exist for the duration of a specific, approved task.
When an agent requests a privilege, Apono requires it to declare its intent what it’s trying to do and why. We evaluate that intent against the privilege being requested and the risk profile of the resource. Low risk and aligned intent: access is auto-approved. Sensitive privilege: a human is notified in Slack to approve or deny. Intent and privilege don’t match: the request is blocked before any action runs.
Yes. Co-pilot coverage is available now. Co-pilots inherit the permissions of the engineer using them, which means your existing JIT and Just-Enough access policies extend to them immediately zero additional configuration. The same controls you’ve already built for your human users apply directly to the co-pilot.
Low-risk operations are auto-approved in seconds with no human intervention. Sensitive operations that require approval surface in Slack no portal, no context switch. Median provisioning time for policy-covered requests is under 3 seconds. Security never becomes the bottleneck. That’s a design requirement, not a claim.
Apono speaks the native API of every major cloud platform. Roles and permissions are generated on-the-fly across AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes, and 200+ database and infrastructure integrations no pre-provisioned roles required. Purely API-based architecture. No agents, proxies, or bastion hosts. Most teams are live within a few hours.
Every session is logged with agent identity, timestamp, tools used, stated intent, approval decision, and downstream actions in connected resources. Search by agent, user, or intent. Compliance reports for SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and GDPR are generated automatically.
Yes. Co-pilots already running in your environment inherit user permissions meaning they have access to sensitive resources with no guardrails right now. Apono closes that gap immediately. As you move toward more autonomous agents, the same platform, the same policies, and the same audit trail scale with you. The controls you configure today work at every stage.
Deploy agents.
Keep control.
