Summary

A major insurance provider operating over 1,000 projects on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) faced significant security challenges due to the proliferation of service accounts and static keys, leading to risks such as lack of ownership, visibility, and inefficient remediation processes. Existing identity governance and cloud security tools failed to address these challenges effectively, as they lacked capabilities for managing non-human identities like service accounts and provided limited GCP support. By implementing P0, the company was able to establish a comprehensive inventory of all identities, automate key rotation and permission management, and enable scalable governance, which allowed for the elimination of static keys, reduction of over-privileged access, and full visibility into GCP identities within minutes. The deployment of P0 achieved results in weeks that would have otherwise taken months, creating a continuous, automated identity governance framework that secures the cloud environment efficiently.
