P0 Security

Overview

P0 Security provides cloud access governance covering both human and non-human identities, with just-in-time (JIT) access and visibility into machine credentials and privileges. Founded in 2022 in Menlo Park, it is engineering-led and cloud-native, aimed at teams that want to govern who and what can reach infrastructure. It is a newer vendor, so legacy and large-scale coverage are still limited.

What it is good at

Its strengths are cloud authorization and JIT access, granting time-bound privileges instead of standing access, combined with visibility into non-human identities and their credentials. Authorization scores highest, with developer experience, lifecycle, and governance close behind. For cloud and platform teams, governing human and machine access to the same infrastructure from one tool is a practical advantage over stitching together CIEM and PAM separately.

Where it falls short

It is not a classic vault-based PAM, so teams expecting credential vaulting and session recording as the centerpiece will find a different model. It is cloud-centric and 2022-founded, so coverage of legacy and on-prem systems and large-scale references are limited. It is also not a human-only IGA tool. The agentic and NHI category is early, so integrations keep expanding.

Pricing

No public pricing. Quote-based subscription through a sales-led process. Model identity counts and cloud footprint with the TCO calculator before comparing.

Best for, and who should look elsewhere

A fit for cloud and platform engineering teams that want JIT access and combined human plus NHI governance for infrastructure. Look elsewhere if you need classic vault-based PAM or only human IGA. Compare with Permiso Security for runtime detection, machine-identity tools, and the broader AI identity category.

Bottom line

A strong cloud access governance choice spanning human and non-human identities, built around just-in-time rather than vaulting.
