Outcomes | Privilege governance
NHI lifecycle management
Manage the full access lifecycle of service accounts, workloads, and AI agents. From provisioning through decommissioning.
Non-human identities outnumber humans. Their governance lags badly.
Service accounts, pipeline identities, workload credentials, and AI agents now outnumber human identities by more than 144 to 1 in the average enterprise. Most were provisioned with a specific task in mind, given the access they needed, and then left alone. Permissions accumulate. Use cases evolve. Projects end and identities linger. P0 Security brings structured lifecycle governance to every non-human identity, from creation through decommissioning, ensuring machine identities are held to the same access standards as human ones.
The problem
Service accounts accumulate access no one tracks.
Non-human identities are the fastest-growing segment of the identity attack surface, and the least governed. Most are never reviewed between provisioning and decommissioning. 71% of non-human identities are never rotated within recommended timeframes. Many hold permissions they no longer need and run credentials that have not changed since the day they were issued. The organizations managing these identities well are the exception, not the rule.
Service accounts persist unchecked when the engineers who created them move on
Permissions are added as use cases expand and never removed
No defined lifecycle: no provisioning review, recertification, or offboarding
Stale, over-permissioned accounts are unlikely to trigger anomaly detection
The solution
Full lifecycle governance for every non-human identity.
P0 Security extends privileged access governance to the full lifecycle of service accounts, workload identities, and AI agents: from initial provisioning through periodic review to decommissioning. For service accounts and workloads, the Identity Graph maintains a continuously updated view of entitlements, activity, and risk posture, with lifecycle events triggering governance actions automatically. For AI agents, P0 goes further: enforcing authorization at execution time through the Authz Control Plane, replacing static service account access with JIT, purpose-specific permissions that auto-revoke.
Every NHI tracked with live entitlements, usage history, and risk scoring
Defined lifecycle policies for provisioning, review, and decommissioning
Stale identities remediated, excessive permissions right-sized, high-risk accounts eliminated
Capability highlights
Automated NHI discovery across cloud environments
P0 uses native APIs to auto-discover all service accounts, workload identities, and AI agents across cloud environments, including those created outside formal provisioning processes, with no agents or additional infrastructure required.
Risk assessment and guided remediation
P0 assesses the privilege posture of every NHI and surfaces prioritized remediation recommendations. Over-permissioned accounts are identified and right-sized; unused keys are flagged for rotation or removal, with P0-managed service accounts handling key rotation directly.
Runtime authorization for agents, lifecycle governance for service accounts
Service accounts and workload identities are managed through defined lifecycle policies covering provisioning, periodic review, and decommissioning. AI agents additionally benefit from P0's Authz Control Plane: enforcing JIT, purpose-specific authorization at execution time.
