More than visibility: P0 introduces privileged access control for agents

AI agents are increasingly playing a part in how modern developer teams build, automate, and scale. Whether it’s using AWS Bedrock, Google Vertex, or custom-built LLM-powered systems, these first-party agents now interact directly with cloud resources, data, and applications, often without a human in the loop.    

While their autonomy drives innovation, it also introduces a new kind of risk that’s playing a larger role in enterprise environments. Most AI agents today operate with static credentials and overly broad IAM roles. Once deployed, they hold standing access to sensitive systems and data. Access that’s rarely monitored, often unmanaged, and nearly impossible to audit due to deferred accountability.    

P0’s Production Access Control Plane now solves for that, with an early access feature set for closed-loop agentic governance.    

Control access proactively for first-party AI Agents    

With this release, P0 extends its least-privilege, just-in-time (JIT) access model beyond human users and workloads to include the AI agents driving this latest era of automation. The same centralized Production Access Control Plane now enables organizations to secure, govern, and audit access by first-party agents built on platforms like AWS Bedrock and Google Vertex.    

When an agent requests access to data or cloud resources, P0 applies secondary authorization control based on the human identity that is interacting with the agent. This allows narrowing the broad permissions of the specific agent to the specific scope that the end-user needs them to have. P0 can then orchestrate a Just-in-Time, human in the loop approval workflow for privileged production access.    

Every session is fully recorded and auditable, giving security teams a tamper-proof record of what actions were taken, by which agent, including the accountable human user that triggered the agentic workflow for granular audit logs.    

Uncover, govern, and audit agentic access with P0 Security:    

This powerful capability is embedded within the P0 platform, giving customers a single control plane for all identities – users, workloads, or agents – across any production environment.    

Key features:    

• JIT, human-in-the-loop provisioning: no vaults, static credentials, or overly permissive keys
• Session-level audit and replay: complete visibility into every action taken by an agent, tied back to the corporate IdP defined user for accountability
• Deep cloud-native coverage: granular entitlement control across major cloud providers and services – AWS, GCP, Azure, CLI
• Closed-loop governance: extends P0’s proven Production Access Control Plane to autonomous workloads for centralized visibility and policy enforcement

Central control designed for security, IAM and platform teams:    

P0’s Production Access Control Plane serves leaders who sit at the intersection of business enablement and security. Security leaders gain governance over a rapidly expanding class of non-human identities. Identity leaders can enforce consistent policies across AWS, GCP, Azure, OCI and on-prem resources. Platform engineering and developers can seamlessly deploy agentic productivity apps without introducing sprawl and access risk.    

• Right-size agentic privilege with secondary access controls, based on the human end-user that’s interacting with the AI
• Scale autonomous AI responsibly by enabling productivity enhancements without opening the door to ungoverned identity sprawl
• Make audits painless with session-level replay and automated evidence trails for simplified regulatory review prep

Available in Early Access    

P0’s agentic controls and governance capabilities are now available as an early access feature set for select design partners.    

If your team is experimenting with first-party agentic applications or exploring how to securely scale AI in production, we’d love to collaborate and shape the future of access governance together.
