Zero Standing Privileges for Every Identity, Enforced at Runtime

No credential exists before the task, and none lingers after for humans, non-human identities, and AI agents.

Request a demo

Standing privilege has become a board-level target — Gartner advises security leaders to "implement a zero standing privileges strategy through a just-in-time model." Britive is how you get there: access is authorized at runtime, scoped to the task, and revoked automatically, so there's no forgotten credential left in your cloud to steal. You shrink risk, simplify audits, and keep innovation moving by taking on cloud risk at its source: persistent access.

Eliminate Access-Based Risk Across the Cloud

Address the Risk of Forgotten Privileged Access

Static credentials leave attack windows open indefinitely. Britive authorizes privileges at runtime, only on request, and revokes them upon expiration, so there's no standing access to forget.

One Policy for Every Identity

Fragmented rules across systems waste time and invite misconfiguration. One runtime policy for humans, non-human identities, machines, and AI agents keeps access consistent for every identity in the environment.

Uncovering & Securing Hidden Permissions

As cloud resources and identities spin up and down in seconds, lingering privileges multiply unnoticed. Britive finds and eliminates unnecessary access across multi-cloud, on-prem, and hybrid environments.

Cut Downtime Caused by Manual Approvals

Slowdowns can stall workflows and invite workarounds. Automated, self-service access keeps both security and velocity intact to enable innovation without unnecessary risk.

Compliant Proof of Access Controls

Regulators require full visibility, and disjointed logs make audits painful. Because every grant and revocation is logged at runtime, evidence of who accessed what, when, and for how long is always current.

Zero Standing Privileges at Enterprise Scale

Risk that Expires by Design

Without long-lived credentials or dormant admin access, the blast radius of a compromise shrinks dramatically. Every permission is runtime-issued, time-bound, and purpose-scoped, an exposed credential is useless because it's already expired.

Least Privilege Without the Bottlenecks

ZSP removes the tradeoff between agility and control. Teams get the access they need, when they need it, without opening backdoors or relying on blanket admin rights.

Proof of Control, Built In

Every access request, approval, and action is logged and traceable. With ZSP in place, audit preparation becomes proactive, not reactive with evidence of least-privilege enforcement at scale.

One Standard for Every Identity

From engineers and analysts to service accounts and AI agents, the same runtime standard applies. And where some access genuinely can't be made ephemeral (break-glass, root, etc.) it's brought under the same policy and audit trail, not left as a blind spot.

Built for Zero Standing Privileges from the Beginning

Britive wasn't retrofitted to eliminate static access — we were built for it. The platform authorizes and enforces access at runtime across every identity, environment, and workflow, without adding friction or infrastructure. Zero standing privilege isn't a feature we switched on; it's what the architecture leaves behind. The result: dynamic access control that's fast to deploy, easy to scale, and built for the pace of modern enterprise.

Just-in-Time Access with Auto-Expiration

With Britive's patented JIT technology, permissions are granted only when needed and revoked automatically when tasks end. No lingering access, no standing credentials, no cleanup required.

Ephemeral Permissions, Not Shared Accounts

Britive doesn't just vault credentials. We eliminate the need for static ones wherever access can be made ephemeral, and vault the rest. Access is scoped to the user and role, then destroyed after use.

Identity-Aware, Context-Rich Authorization

Every request is authorized at runtime using policy and context — user, task, time, environment — with MFA, approvals, and posture checks built in

One Policy Model for All Identities

Apply Zero Standing Privileges to humans, service accounts, ephemeral workloads, and AI agents from a single control plane. No fragmented workflows and enforcement, no exceptions.

Instant Visibility, End-to-End Auditing

Track every elevation, session, and access path in one unified view. From auditors to incident response teams, everyone sees the same source of truth with automated access logs.

FAQ

What makes Britive different from a traditional PAM solution?

Traditional PAM stores and rotates standing credentials in a vault and brokers checkout. The privileged account still exists before and after use. Britive authorizes access at runtime and mints ephemeral permission through the resource's own IAM, then revokes it. There's no standing credential to steal, no vault to breach, and no agent or proxy in the path. Cloud-native by design, not retrofitted from an on-prem model.

Can Britive integrate with ___?

Yes! Britive is API-first and integration-friendly, allowing seamless out-of-the-box integrations with cloud infrastructure providers (AWS, GCP, Azure, etc.), SSO & Identity Providers (Okta, Microsoft Entra ID / Azure AD, Ping Identity), SIEM & Logging Tools (Splunk, Datadog, etc.) and DevOps & CI/CD Pipelines (Terraform, GitHub Actions, Kubernetes, etc.).

You can find a starting list of our integrations here.

How long does it take to implement Britive?

Britive can be fully deployed in a matter of hours or days with our agentless and proxyless design to minimize the number of configuration changes needed.

Does Britive support an open API for custom integrations?

Yes, Britive has an open API, SDK, and CLI tool.

Does Britive allow the import of privileged accounts for other systems?

Yes, Britive offers the ability to import privileged accounts from other systems for seamless integration and centralized management. Privileged accounts from cloud platforms like AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, as well as on-premises systems, can be imported into Britive. Automated discovery simplifies the process, identifying existing accounts for streamlined integration. 

Does the Britive solution offer any "break glass" access?

Yes, Britive offers "break glass" access capabilities, including support for managing emergency access to critical accounts such as AWS root accounts. This ensures operational continuity and secure access during emergencies. This includes strict access policies, logging, and enforcement of strong authentication methods for enhanced security. 
 
Break glass access is also strictly monitored and governed by approval workflows, ensuring that usage is authorized and fully auditable.

Does Britive support session recording?

Yes, Britive's session recording capability is lightweight and easy to deploy for selective monitoring of RDP and SSH sessions.
