The Challenge

Overcoming Security Debt Pains Scaling from Startup to Large-Scale Business

As the company scaled up, they identified security gaps in excessive permissions and visibility that needed to be addressed to meet their goals moving forward. Too many accounts had admin privileges and there was a lack of audit logging.

“The lack of audit logging in our cloud was maybe our biggest blind spot.”

The Results

Efficiently Implementing Just-in-Time Access with Game-Changing Auditability

After comprehensively evaluating competing solutions, the cloud security architect advocated for Apono.

“Apono was frankly more mature and the superior platform. Within five minutes, I was able to start setting up a Just-in-Time access flow and configure it with its simple user interface.”

Superior Auditing

Every access request is logged, making it easy to track sessions and streamline audits for simplified compliance and security response.

Simplicity of Use

Apono’s straightforward user interface makes setting up secure, granular access policies easy for all, enabling a fast path to value.

Streamlined Access Management

Apono simplified the management of time-bound and role-specific access to critical resources like AWS and databases, reducing manual intervention and operational complexity.

“I love the visual user story feature of Apono. That was a game changer for me and a big part of why I chose the Apono platform. If you crack open an access request, you can see what they did in a single pane of glass, which is definitely not something you can do with CloudTrail.”

The Outcome

The first significant and noticeable win within the first month of using Apono was bringing the number of admins in key accounts down from 80 to six.

Minimized Risk Exposure

By transitioning to temporary, requestable access for sensitive roles, the company significantly reduced the number of admins to accounts without revoking privileges.

Audit-Ready

The adoption of risk-based tiering and fully monitored access flows enhanced compliance with security policies and streamlined interactions with auditors.

Operational Scalability

By requiring justifications for every access request, Apono established a system of accountability that empowered faster, more effective incident investigations and response.

“People are accountable for their work,” he says, noting, “If somebody goes in and breaks something, we can find it easily and know who did it. Every request must have a justification, and Apono’s ability to be that critical gatekeeper has been a major value and win for us.”
