Britive’s new Frictionless PAM Transformation Program helps enterprises move from fragmented, traditional Privileged Access Management (PAM) environments to a modern authorization model built for AI agents, non-human identities, and cloud-speed operations.
LOS ANGELES, Sept. 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Britive today announced the Frictionless PAM Transformation Program, a new initiative designed to help enterprises modernize privileged access from fragmented, static, credential-centric approaches to a dynamic runtime authorization model built for the autonomous era, where AI agents act alongside human and non-human identities at machine speed.
Traditional PAM architectures were designed to protect administrator accounts, manage persistent credentials, and control access to relatively static infrastructure. But the environment has changed: cloud infrastructure is dynamic, SaaS has proliferated, machine identities continue to multiply, and AI agents have emerged as a new digital workforce, taking action autonomously and often with privileged access. The traditional question, “What access should we give this identity?” is no longer sufficient. The more important question: “Should this specific action be allowed right now?”
Across our customer base, we consistently see privileged access environments that have become fragmented, with traditional infrastructure governed one way, cloud another, and non-human identities through entirely separate controls,” said Mohit Vaish, CEO, CyberSolve. “Organizations recognize that static models designed decades ago weren’t built for the cloud, automation, and AI use cases now in front of them. And the traditional answer has been to bolt another module onto the same architecture, which adds tools without changing the model and deepens the fragmentation it was meant to solve. The challenge isn’t seeing the problem. It’s knowing how to get their arms around it.”
That is the runtime question every organization now faces: should this specific action be allowed right now? Answering it requires dynamic, contextual authorization rather than standing privilege. It is what the Britive platform delivers for every identity, and what Britive ARC™ (Agentic Runtime Control), launched last month, extends to the AI workforce. Rather than adding another tool, Britive ARC™ brings agents onto the same platform, under the same policies, authorization engine, and audit trail, so securing the newest identity type does not create the next silo. The Frictionless PAM Transformation Program gives enterprises a practical path from yesterday’s siloed PAM architecture to a single unified architecture capable of governing autonomous agents, non-human identities, and human identities across cloud, SaaS, and traditional infrastructure.
“Privileged access is going through a fundamental shift,” said Garrett Long, VP of Business Development and Channel, Britive. “As AI agents become part of the workforce, enterprises can no longer think only in terms of what access an identity should have. They increasingly need to determine, in real time, whether a specific action should be allowed. This program helps organizations understand where they are today and chart the path toward the authorization model they will need for the future.”
A Practical Roadmap for Transformation
At the center of the program is a PAM Modernization Readiness Review, which establishes a clear view of the current environment and builds a prioritized path forward. The review covers:
Current PAM architecture and operating model
Privileged identity inventory across AI agents, non-human identities, and humans
Standing privilege exposure
Cloud, SaaS, automation, and machine identity access patterns, including readiness for agentic runtime control
Continuous authorization readiness, including Shared Signals Framework (CAEP/RISC) adoption
Gaps between current controls and cloud, Zero Trust, and AI initiatives
Total cost of ownership and cost-rationalization opportunities
The outcome is a PAM Modernization Roadmap and Executive Business Case deliverable aligned to the organization’s security, operational, and financial priorities, established before any product decision.
“Traditional privileged access was built on giving people accounts, granting them privileges, and then trying to manage those privileges. That worked when environments were slower and there were few people. Now identities have exploded, and the blast radius of any standing account is bigger than it has ever been. If we get the identity model right for humans and non-humans, the same model extends to AI agents. If we don’t, we end up bolting AI access onto an architecture that’s already showing its age,” said Sameer Patwardhan, former SVP of Technology at Forbes, where he led the company’s move to Britive.
Delivered With Leading Advisory Partners
Privileged access transformation is a security and business transformation, not a technology replacement. Britive delivers it with leading cybersecurity advisory partners, who use the Britive platform to discover and classify existing privileged access exposure across cloud and on-premises environments and to build the transformation roadmap. As projects move into implementation, Britive provides the platform capabilities for ephemeral access, runtime authorization, and Zero Standing Privilege, including Britive ARC™ to extend the same model to AI agents. Authorization remains continuous after access is granted: inbound Shared Signals Framework events can revoke an agent’s active access mid-task, and every agent tool call is recorded with the prompt, tool, arguments, and, where supplied, the agent’s stated intent.
“Enterprises understand that privileged access has to evolve. What they struggle with is how to make the leap from years of existing investments and siloed solutions to a more modern unified approach,” said David (DJ) Morimanno, Field CTO, Xalient. “That’s where they rely on partners to assess where privilege and exposure exist today, and to guide them along a pragmatic roadmap toward dynamic authorization built for an increasingly autonomous world.”
Addressing the Commercial Side of Modernization
Commercial complexity can also stall modernization. Many organizations maintain multiple overlapping access tools, each with its own licensing and operational burden. As part of the program, Britive and its partners advise on the commercial aspects of consolidation, including incentives that remove cost duplication during the transition, so decisions can be driven by security and business priorities rather than contract timing.

About Britive
Britive is the runtime authorization platform for privileged access across every identity that runs the modern enterprise: AI agents, non-human identities, and people. Instead of managing standing privileged accounts and long-lived credentials, Britive creates privileged access at the moment an authorized action requires it and removes it when the work is done, across cloud, SaaS, databases, servers, and on-premises systems that still depend on traditional credentials. One access model and one audit trail govern every identity in one platform, with no endpoint software to deploy.
Britive ARC™ (Agentic Runtime Control) brings that model to every action an AI agent takes. Each tool call is authorized as it happens, privilege is created for that action without handing the agent a credential, and disallowed commands are blocked before they reach the resource. When the task ends, the access is gone, so nothing is left standing between tasks. Learn more at britive.com
