The Future of Privileged Access Is Being Redefined
"Britive is not just filling a gap in the market; they are helping define the new standard for how organizations manage high-impact permissions" -Francis Odum, Lead Analyst at SACR

Key Takeaways
As ephemeral cloud environments and autonomous AI agents proliferate, this report by Software Analyst Cyber Research (SACR) finds that legacy PAM models built on static roles, standing privileges, and vaults are failing. The report explores how Third-Gen PAM replaces vault-centric security with an agentless, real-time Identity Security Control Plane—and evaluates Britive’s architecture, policy model, and operational approach through the lens of modern identity security practitioners.
What the Report Covers:
- An independent analysis of how the PAM market is evolving to meet the demands of cloud-native and DevOps-driven environments
- Why traditional vault-centric architectures break down in the cloud due to static access models, operational complexity, and standing privilege risk
- How runtime-centric authorization enables just-in-time access and zero standing privilege without relying on long-lived privileged accounts
- A detailed evaluation of Britive’s cloud-native architecture and policy model, including how access controls are enforced consistently across cloud and hybrid environments
