About Apono
At a glance
Apono is a cybersecurity company specializing in IAM, founded in 2021 and headquartered in Tel Aviv, Israel. It has raised $54.5M in total funding, employs about 95 people, and was acquired by 1Password in 2026.
Apono provides a cloud privileged access management platform that implements just-in-time (JIT) and just-enough-privilege (JEP) access controls for cloud environments. The platform eliminates standing privileges by granting temporary, context-aware permissions to both human and non-human identities. Founded in 2022 by Rom Carmel and Ofir Stein, the company addresses access management challenges in modern cloud infrastructure by automating permission workflows while maintaining security and compliance requirements. The platform integrates with major cloud providers including AWS, GCP, and Azure, as well as infrastructure-as-code tools like Terraform and CI/CD pipelines. Apono's approach differs from legacy privileged access management (PAM) tools by focusing on ephemeral permissions rather than vaults, agents, and session recordings. The platform provides granular, time-limited access controls that can be tailored based on department, job description, or geolocation. All access events are tracked and tied to business justifications for audit purposes. The company serves organizations across various sectors, including Fortune 500 companies and security vendors who require strict access controls for sensitive environments. Apono has been recognized in Gartner's Magic Quadrant for Privileged Access Management. The platform enables organizations to manage access across multiple cloud vendors from a single interface while maintaining zero trust principles through dynamic, context-driven policies.
