A path to Zero Standing Access
Our story
Privileged Access Management was built for a world that no longer exists: clean environments, clear ownership, and access that rarely changed.
In reality, environments are inherited, merged, half-migrated, and constantly in motion. Standing access wasn’t a policy choice, it became the cost of getting work done.
For decades, heavy vaults, rigid workflows, and endless workarounds have slowed teams down while quietly increasing risk. With AI multiplying identities and access events, legacy PAM tools are reaching their breaking point.
Venice was founded to make PAM work - today.
Instead of managing static credentials, we focus on how access is actually used; who needs it, for what, and for how long. By making privilege temporary, contextual, and easy to use, Venice helps teams reduce risk without breaking the way work gets done.
Supported by top-tier investors and security leaders, Venice delivers Just-in-Time access for real-world environments - cloud and on-prem - without agents, vault sprawl, or rip-and-replace.
PAM only works if people actually use it
Usability isn’t a “nice to have” in PAM - it’s the security model. If access feels harder than the task itself, users find shortcuts.
Privilege cannot live in fragments anymore
PAM must act as a single system, not a collection of partial answers. Identity, access, and risk scattered across tools and environments create blind spots and friction that should no longer be tolerated.
Just-in-Time is inevitable — adoption must be gradual
Zero standing access is the right end state, but no environment starts clean. A good solution is one that helps teams find a path forward that respects legacy, scale, and reality.
Agents will break legacy PAM models
Manual approvals and static policies can’t survive the volume of automated actors. PAM must move at AI speed - dynamic, continuous and context-driven.
