Enforce zero-trust
access security

Excessive access permissions are an important source of security risk. Akku makes it possible for you to follow the principle of least privilege, monitor user behavior, and step up authentication based on risk analysis, helping to take you forward on the path to zero-trust security.

Giving users maximal access may seem like a simple way to empower your users to operate productively, but it has major downsides for security. A compromised account with excessive permissions can be used to misuse more applications, expose more data, and do more damage overall than a user account with limited access. Another important consideration is quick detection of compromised or hijacked user sessions through user session monitoring. Akku helps you put together the important building blocks in your zero trust security strategy quickly and easily.

With Akku, you can exercise granular control over the level of access users have to your applications, so you can provide them with the permissions they require to operate effectively, and no more. And with continuous user session monitoring, users can be asked to re-verify their identity periodically during their sessions to ensure only authorized users have access.

Least privilege access management

Apply fine-grained controls over the level of access to each of your assets is available to each user or user group to ensure only the minimum required access is assigned.

Automated provisioning & de-provisioning

Avoid manual errors or exceptions to defined permission rules for users with a completely automated provisioning process, and completely revoke all permissions during de-provisioning.

Session monitoring and re-verification

Quickly detect and block unauthorized access with continuous monitoring of sessions, and periodic re-verification of user identity through low-friction methods, minimizing malicious activity through user impersonation or hijacked sessions.

Granular access controls

Exercise control over the conditions under which your users are permitted access, based on IP address, user device, and login time, to minimize unauthorized login attempts.
