Britive

What the company sells

Britive sells a runtime privileged access platform that authorizes and enforces task-scoped access for AI agents, non-human identities and humans.

Britive says it continuously authorizes and enforces task-scoped access at runtime across cloud, hybrid, on-prem, infrastructure, applications, and data at enterprise scale.

Britive ARC (Agentic Runtime Control) is described as the runtime access model for the AI workforce, built to give agents the access they need to do real work without standing privilege. Every action is evaluated at runtime, and control continues beyond the tool call into sessions and individual commands. Proof is captured as access happens: the prompt, the stated intent, the identities, the decision, and the outcome.

For cloud privileged access, Britive creates privileged access at the moment it is needed and removes it when the task ends, automatically, across AWS, Azure, GCP, and OCI. For non-human identities, service accounts, workloads, pipelines, and CI/CD jobs lose their permanent credentials and keep their jobs, and access arrives the moment a job runs.

Britive describes one control plane that finds every identity and every privilege it holds, decides authorization centrally, enforces it natively at the resource, and keeps the proof. Britive says access requests are assessed against policy using the identity, the device, the task, and other context, and that authorization is continuously re-evaluated as conditions change. Britive states there is no proxy in the data path.

Britive lists the environments it covers as AWS, Azure, GCP, OCI, Kubernetes, SaaS applications, databases, servers, and on-prem infrastructure. Britive has built-in approval workflows, with approval alerts integrated with Teams, Slack, and email.

Britive says deployments can be completed in weeks instead of years. Britive says there are no vault servers, no DR duplicates, and no rotation infrastructure to host, patch, or license.

Britive's co-founders are Art Poghosyan, Alex Gudanis, and Sameer Hiremath. Britive describes itself as a cloud-native platform offering a centralized point of visibility and access management across cloud platforms and applications.^{[1][7][9][10]}
