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

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

MySQL is a widely used open-source relational database that enables organizations to store, manage, and query structured data efficiently. It powers applications of all sizes, from small projects to large enterprise systems. MySQL provides robust features for data integrity, scalability, and performance, making it a reliable choice for modern applications.

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 MySQL 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 MySQL 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 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 database access.
