Eliminate Standing Privileges with Secure, Right-Sized AWS Access

Enable Just-in-Time and Just-Enough-Access across your AWS environment

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is a cloud computing platform provided by Amazon. It offers a wide range of services and products that can be used to build and manage applications and infrastructure in the cloud. AWS provides a secure and scalable environment for businesses to run their applications, store their data, and access a wide range of computing resources on demand.

Integration Overview:

Apono helps organizations achieve Zero Standing Privileges (ZSP) by eliminating permanent privileged access to systems, cloud environments, databases, and other critical resources.

Apono connects to your individual AWS Accounts or entire AWS Organizations, continuously discovering your environment—from core services like S3, EC2, EKS, Redshift, and Lambda to supporting components such as databases and IAM resources (roles, users, groups, and policies). This empowers security teams to enforce fine-grained, dynamic, and context-aware access policies.

Through Just-in-Time (JIT) and Just-Enough-Access (JEA) provisioning, access to AWS resources is granted only when required 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 AWS environment.
  • 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%.
  • Simplify audits with Apono’s detailed reporting, anomaly detection, and comprehensive access activity logging.
