Best for

Security and cloud infrastructure teams in multi-cloud environments that want to replace standing privileges and legacy PAM workflows with just-in-time, policy-governed access for both engineers and non-human identities. 

Engineering and DevOps teams that need secure, audited infrastructure access with a faster, less disruptive deployment model than traditional PAM tools — particularly for organizations with significant cloud and database access management needs. 

Short description

P0 Security provides an authorization control plane that discovers users, service accounts, agents, and MCP servers with sensitive access, then enforces just-in-time, short-lived access and centralized policy governance across cloud providers, Kubernetes, databases, and servers. It positions itself as a cloud-native alternative to traditional PAM. 

StrongDM provides a proxy-based infrastructure access management platform — without agents on target systems — giving engineering teams secure, audited access to databases, servers, Kubernetes, and internal applications.
