Apono

Founded 2021

Grant and revoke temporary privileged access to cloud infrastructure and databases automatically

You can use Apono to manage privileged cloud access on demand without maintaining permanent administrator accounts. It lets engineers and automated agents request temporary permissions directly inside tools like Slack, Teams, or the command line. Apono provisions these rights at runtime across cloud providers like AWS, Azure, GCP, and databases, then revokes them automatically when tasks finish. It records every access request, approval, and activity with full business context, making compliance audits for frameworks like SOC 2 and HIPAA simple to pass without manual log gathering.
