Why Enterprises Are Upgrading to Next-Gen PAM for Cloud Security

A global technology company facing challenges with traditional Privileged Access Management (PAM) solutions has transitioned to a next-generation product, P0, to better manage cloud security and privileged access. Initially using Okta’s ASA product, the company encountered limitations such as high operational overhead, lack of governance for modern cloud services, and a poor user experience due to the absence of just-in-time access. P0 was selected for its agentless architecture, which eliminates the need for proxies and agents, and its use of cloud-native IAM APIs for SSH access, along with its ability to manage fine-grained access and governance for non-human identities. The adoption of P0 has enabled the company to streamline operations, enhance security, and improve the developer experience through features like risk mitigation, governance automation, and seamless integration with tools like Slack and PagerDuty. As cloud adoption grows, the shift towards agentless, cloud-native PAM solutions is becoming increasingly essential for enterprises aiming to secure privileged access efficiently and at scale.
