P0, a company specializing in cloud access security, has secured $5 million in seed funding led by Lightspeed Venture Partners. The company aims to address the challenges of managing cloud access in a cloud-native environment by providing a unified solution that enhances security for both human and machine identities without compromising developer productivity. P0's platform offers deep visibility into excessive and dangerous permissions to sensitive resources and automates access escalations, significantly reducing approval times.
