Secure sensitive systems with runtime access control
The result is three access problems security teams need to solve
Multiple identities, no traceability
Every agent action involves at least the originator and the agent. Often, the agent inherits permissions and assumes the identity of its originator, making it difficult to determine what was done and by whom.
Too much standing access for too long
Originators and agents often have broad permissions or static credentials that exceed the task and remain available long after they are needed.
Lack of enforcement, accountability breakdown
Agent workflows span multiple control points. If identity and policy enforcement are not carried across the action chain, agents can take rogue actions and create unintentional failures, making audit impossible.
Runtime access control for every identity
P0 Security delivers runtime access control by evaluating what an identity is trying to do in the moment, applying least-privilege policy using business context and authorizing just-in-time access directly in the target system.
For AI agents
Govern what agents can actually do by evaluating the agent, originator, delegated identity, target and requested action across the full action chain.
For human users
Replace standing production access with fine-grained, just-in-time permissions that are automatically provisioned and revoked.
For workloads
Discover service accounts, workloads and other machine identities, govern their access and reduce long-lived credentials through automated lifecycle controls.
P0 Security – one control plane for every identity
Discover
Know which identities exist and what they can reach.
- Inventory all agents, users and machines, as well as their permissions and access paths across local and remote environments.
- Identify shadow agents, standing access and emerging risk.
Control
Decide what an agent can do, when and based on the privilege overlap between the originator and agent.
- Issue a blended identity that preserves the originating user and acting agent for each session.
- Enforce runtime policy based on originator, agent, action and resource context, with per-task just-in-time authorization in target systems to eliminate standing access.
Prove
Understand what happened, who initiated it and why it was allowed.
- Capture the full action chain, provenance and attribution from originator through agent, tool and resource.
- Monitor activity, access decisions and policy enforcement as actions occur, with audit history for governance, compliance, investigation and accountability.
P0 connects directly to sensitive systems through native APIs, without requiring vaults, bastions, proxies or changes to the network path.

Workforce and developer applications
Kubernetes, GitHub, GitLab, code repositories, CI/CD, SaaS and custom applications.
Why P0 Security
Built for modern access workflows
Runtime enforcement
Enforce policy where the action happens using the native authorization controls of the target system.
Identity-native authorization
Preserve enterprise identity, ownership and business context without creating shared accounts or any manual correlation burden.
Zero Standing Privilege (ZSP)
Replace persistent access with ephemeral, least-privilege entitlements that expire automatically when the work is done.
API-led architecture
Discover, provision and revoke access through native APIs without the maintenance or friction of vaults, bastions and proxies.
What you can do with P0
- Replace standing production access with just-in-time (JIT) and just-enough privilege (JEP).
- Govern human, machine and AI-agent access through one policy layer.
- Control AI agents using delegated or inherited permissions.
- Discover unowned identities and excessive access.
- Centralize audit evidence across access decisions and activity.
What makes P0 different
- Runtime enforcement in the target system.
- One Authorization Control Plane across users, non-human identities and AI agents.
- Full originator-to-agent-to-target action-chain context.
- No vaults, bastions or inline proxies.
- Central revocation when identity or business context changes.
Where P0 fits
- AI agents are reaching sensitive systems.
You need to govern what agents can actually do, not only which models, tools or MCP servers they can reach. - Engineers or administrators retain standing production access.
You want to move to just-in-time access and Zero Standing Privilege without slowing down engineering or the business. - Service accounts and workloads have long-lived access.
You need visibility, ownership and lifecycle controls across non-human identities. - Your existing PAM architecture does not extend to cloud and developer workflows.
You need fine-grained control without forcing access through vaults, bastions or proxies. - Auditors are asking how privileged access is governed.
You need evidence connecting identity, request, decision, permissions, activity and revocation.
