Apono
Just-in-time cloud access that kills standing privileges for humans, machines, and agents.
Proof of life. Raised $34M Series B led by USVP, November 2025
About Apono
Apono grants cloud permissions only when a job needs them, then revokes them when the work is done. The product is built around zero standing privilege, with context checks so developers and AI agents do not keep always-on admin rights.
Intel, HPE, and Monday.com are among the shops using it to keep hybrid and multi-cloud access tight without slowing engineering.
