Just-in-Time Access To Microsoft Azure
With Apono, you’ll be able to create dynamic Access Flows that grant on-demand, granular permissions that are fully auditable.
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.
Azure Use Cases
Just-in-Time Access
- Allow SREs, Developers or Platform Engineers to receive temporary granular permissions to MySQL schemas and databases.
- “BreakGlass”, “Firefighter” role, and On-Call access automation with integration to PagerDuty and more shift management and incident response tools.
- Contractor or Third-Party Restricted Temporary MySQL access granting with MFA.
Secure Break-glass Access
- Manage break-glass access, balancing the need for emergency access with the imperative of maintaining robust security measures.
- Implement robust logging and monitoring systems to track and record break-glass access events.
- Dynamically grant only the permissions needed for the task at hand to prevent costly mistakes in production and downtime.
Automated Access
- Escape the frustration of ticket fatigue and the time-consuming nature of manual provisioning through the implementation of automated access flows.
- Embrace innovation to revolutionize your workflow, saving time and resources, enhancing efficiency, and ensuring a secure access management system.
- Automate your access control and witness a transformative shift in permission allocation within your organization.
Apono automates access management to Azure
Apono works with Microsoft Azure to make your infrastructure easy to access, manage, and audit.
Restrict Access To Task/Time
Make sure engineers, support, SREs or other employees receive the permissions they need only when they need them, maintaining a Least Standing Privilege Environment at any time (especially when it comes to production).
Self-Service Access
Empower your developers to gain self-servable access to Microsoft Azure services, buckets, instances and more using Slack, Teams, or the CLI.
Restricted Third-Party Access
Facilitate time-based access for third parties, be they customers or vendors, by granting specific permissions to designated buckets, databases, or instances. This enhanced security measure incorporates Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) verification, ensuring that third parties authenticate their identity through multiple factors before gaining access.
Granular Permissions
Define the authorized categories of data and resources for users, groups, and dynamic contexts like on-call shifts. Establish explicit guidelines for access and utilization, ensuring a structured and secure framework. Incorporating dynamic contexts, such as on-call shifts, enhances system adaptability and promotes a nuanced, responsive resource allocation approach based on varying operational requirements.
