Dynamic Cloud Privileged Access Management (CPAM)

How to Replace Britive

Overview

Britive is a cloud-native privileged access management platform that eliminates always-on standing access for human, machine, and AI identities. It provides runtime identity access enforcement through dynamic, ephemeral privileges across AWS, multi-cloud, SaaS, hybrid, and on-prem environments. The API-first, agentless platform integrates natively with existing identity providers, CI/CD pipelines, and cloud environments.
