Just-in-Time Access To Cloud Run

With Apono you’ll be able to create dynamic Access Flows that grant on-demand permissions with high granularity and a full audit.

Just-inTime
(JIT)

Cloud Run is a serverless compute platform provided by Google Cloud. It enables developers to deploy and run containerized applications in a fully managed environment without the need to manage the underlying infrastructure.

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

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.

Benefits

Apono automates access management to Cloud Run.

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

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.

Tailored Production Engineer Access

Implement a tailored approach to permissions management by ensuring that access to sensitive resources is precisely calibrated to the specific needs and responsibilities of each user or system. This involves meticulously providing right-size permissions, aligning with the principle of least privilege. By adopting this meticulous strategy, you not only enhance the overall security posture of your system but also minimize the potential risks associated with excessive or insufficient access.

Just-In-Time Permissions

Empower your development team by implementing a sophisticated access management strategy that involves the judicious granting of temporary, just-in-time permissions tailored specifically to the task at hand. This approach ensures that developers receive the precise level of access required for their immediate objectives, promoting a fine-tuned and secure access control system within your organizational framework. By embracing this nuanced strategy, you not only enhance the agility and productivity of your development processes but also minimize the potential risks associated with granting prolonged or unnecessary access.

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.
