The solution aims to provide an access management tool that enables developers and security engineers to securely manage permissions and to prevent security and compliance risks, while ensuring that users can access the content, they need without being overwhelmed by authentication measures.

For technical decision makers, privileged access governance solutions are emerging as a critical and scalable alternative for gatekeeping access to sensitive resources and systems, that’s more user friendly than less efficient multi-factor authentication-driven approaches. [1]

The launch comes as more organizations do not control access rights to systems, with 77% of organizations having at least some users with more access rights than their jobs require.

“Companies need to move faster than ever to deliver immediate value to their customers. To do this, they must provide access to privileged assets and sensitive data stores while keeping them secure and compliant,” said Rom Carmel, CEO of Apono.

“Legacy privileged access management solutions cannot keep up with the pace of time to value those businesses demand today and were not designed to secure cloud resources. With the multitude of applications, data stores, and clouds in the environment, properly managing permissions across each resource becomes a major challenge,” said Carmel.

With the rapid evolution of modern enterprise, Apono aims to address the permissions management challenge by providing users with a single cloud-native platform to manage permissions across multiple resources and environments, eliminating the need to define permissions on a case-by-case basis coincidence.[2]

The organization is part of a global identity and access management market, valued by researchers at $ 12.26 billion in 2020 and $ 34.52 billion in 2028, as organizations become increasingly concerned about protecting their environment and reducing compliance violations. Remote work.

When Apono competes against established competitors, it aims to differentiate itself through its emphasis on cloud integration.

“By integrating with your cloud environments, Apono can provide a plug-and-play approach to access and permission management based on environmental insights unlike any other existing solution. Apono is built for DevOps and seeks to automate permissions management while backing up in security and compliance, “said Carmel.[3]
