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, causing credential abuse to remain a top initial access vector, and identity-driven intrusions to now account for 30% of attacks. This guide gives CISOs a practical model for shifting to Zero Standing Privilege across human, non-human, and AI identities.

In this guide, you'll learn how to:

• Replace always-on accounts with Just-in-Time access workflows
• Converge PAM and IGA under one policy engine
• Extend Zero Standing Privilege to AI agents and non-human identities
• Apply a five-phase rollout starting with high-risk accounts
