Apono, a leader in privileged access for the cloud, is making a significant update to the Apono Cloud Access Management Platform, introducing new capabilities for managing and securing Non-Human Identities (NHIs).
According to the company, this expansion provides organizations with essential tools to discover, manage, assess, and quarantine NHIs, enabling a move toward a “just-enough” least privilege access model across their cloud ecosystem.
Building off the platform's existing capabilities, this update delivers a unified cloud access solution that delivers automated, Just-in-Time, “just-enough” access for every identity, whether person or machine.
"The widespread growth of over-privileged non-human identities in the cloud presents a critical security challenge—they are prime targets for attackers and introduce substantial risk and blind spots into vital cloud infrastructure," said Ofir Stein, CTO at Apono. "Our latest platform update is specifically designed to combat this by giving organizations the essential tools to discover, manage, assess, and even quarantine identities. This enables a crucial shift to a just-enough, least privilege model for non-human access at scale."
The new capabilities in the Apono platform are designed to eliminate blind spots and provide a unified approach to identity and access management across human and non-human entities.
This innovation allows organizations to eliminate standing privilege effectively, achieve just enough privilege for NHIs, and enforce end-to-end least privilege, a critical component of zero-trust architecture, while maintaining development velocity and operational efficiency, the company said.
Key capabilities of the Apono platform update include:
- Discovery and observability
- Risk assessment and recommendation
- Just-enough access and least privilege migration
- Dormant and zombie NHI identification and quarantine
This update significantly enhances Apono's ability to offer end-to-end coverage for all identities, providing just-in-time and just-enough access without negatively impacting business operations.
