Apono is a modern access management platform designed for cloud-first security and DevOps teams. Our mission is to help organizations eliminate standing access, enforce least privilege, and streamline infrastructure access — all without slowing down developers. 

Secure Both Human and Non-Human Identities with Scale and Speed 

We’ve built our platform to tackle today’s most critical access challenges. And now, we’re expanding that protection to a growing blind spot: Non-Human Identities (NHIs) — including service accounts, automation scripts, secrets, and tooling — which often carry persistent, excessive permissions across cloud environments like AWS. We are now offering NHI Discovery Assessment to help flesh out this blind spot.

WHO ARE WE

The Reasons Why NHIs Matter

Most security teams focus on user access — but NHIs make up the majority of identities in modern infrastructure. 

1

NHIs are often over-permissioned

Service accounts, tokens, and scripts frequently have broader access than they need.

2

They’re rarely reviewed or rotated

Unlike human users, NHIs often stay active indefinitely — with the same credentials.

3

Attackers target them to move laterally and exfiltrate data

Once compromised, NHIs can quietly access sensitive systems without detection.

4

They’re easy to overlook in audits and reviews

NHIs don’t show up in traditional user access reviews, making them a blind spot.

5

They’re created automatically and multiply quickly

CI/CD pipelines, automation tools, and cloud services often spin up NHIs by default — creating sprawl.

6

Revoking access is complex and risky

Many teams are hesitant to clean up NHI access for fear of breaking automation or critical processes.

    Spot IAM roles and policies that grant excessive permissions — far beyond what's actually needed.
  • Map Risky Access Patterns
    Understand where NHIs exist in your AWS environment and how they’re currently being used (or misused).

🛠️ Remediation

  • Get Actionable Access Fixes
    Receive a personalized scorecard with specific steps to reduce unnecessary permissions and tighten access controls.
  • Build Secure Access Flows
    Leverage Apono’s guidance to create scalable, just-in-time access flows for machine identities — without starting from scratch.
  • Remove Zombie Permissions
    Eliminate stale or orphaned access without disrupting ongoing operations or development workflows.
