Privileged access is changing fast. What started as vaults, shared admin accounts and session control is becoming something else entirely: dynamic, identity-tied authorization for cloud infrastructure, workloads and AI agents.
That shift is all over SACR’s new report, from its phased PAM evolution model – which P0 helped define – to its argument that standing privilege no longer fits modern environments.
The report walks through what changed, what did not and where legacy approaches start to break. It covers the expansion of privilege beyond human admins, the rise of non-human identities, the pressure cloud puts on static roles and why just-in-time, just enough access is becoming the new baseline.
It also makes the case that privileged access maturity is a prerequisite for safe agentic adoption, not something to bolt on later.
If your team is evaluating where PAM is headed and why the market is moving beyond vaulting toward runtime authorization, this report is worth your time.
