The CISO’s Guide To Zero Standing Privilege

A practical framework for replacing always-on privileged access with Just-in-Time controls.

Most privileged access still exists by default and gets reviewed periodically. That architecture is the reason credential abuse remains the most common initial access vector and why identity-driven intrusions account for 30% of all attacks. This guide gives CISOs a working model for shifting to a Zero Standing Privilege posture across human, non-human, and AI identities.

In this guide, you will learn how to:

• Replace always-on privileged accounts with Just-in-Time access workflows that don't slow your teams down.
  
• Converge PAM and IGA so privileged and standard access get governed through one policy engine.
• Extend Zero Standing Privilege to non-human identities and AI agents, where the fastest growth is happening.
• Apply a five-phase adoption path that starts with your highest-risk accounts and scales from there.
