Apono provides a cloud-native access governance platform that replaces standing privileges with just-in-time and just-enough access for people, machines, and AI agents across cloud and hybrid environments. It dynamically creates IAM roles and permissions at request time, enforces them with runtime guardrails in the native policy languages of AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes, and databases, and automatically revokes access when it’s no longer needed. The platform delivers unified audit and compliance, supports AI agent security, and is now part of 1Password to extend secure access governance in the AI era.
