The tokenmaxxing era has left companies grappling with an uncomfortable reality. Now that AI vendors have switched to usage-based billing models, businesses are facing sky-high bills, and IT and finance teams are under pressure to rein in spending without slowing down innovation.

MSPs are expected to understand their clients’ technology environments. They know which endpoints are managed, which applications are business-critical, which systems require patching or maintenance, where sensitive data resides and who has access to it. Increasingly, however, critical technology decisions are now being made without IT or MSP involvement. Across client environments, this can take many forms: And each instance can occur without the MSP ever knowing.

You can reduce your cloud attack surface by auditing every persistent permission across your cloud and identity platforms, stripping away unnecessary access and replacing always-on admin rights with Just-In-Time (JIT) access that’s granted on approval, time-limited and automatically revoked. Getting there starts with understanding why standing privilege makes up such a significant portion of the cloud attack surface.

One of the most exploitable parts of modern attack surfaces is standing privileges: the persistent access rights that linger on accounts long after they’re needed. With standing privilege, static credentials are easier to steal, and overprovisioned accounts give attackers far more reach than they should have. Zero Standing Privilege (ZSP) solves these issues by granting access only when necessary and revoking it as soon as the task is finished, leaving behind no lingering access.

Keeper Privileged Cloud delivers Zero Standing Privilege (ZSP) by extending KeeperPAM’s Just-In-Time (JIT) access framework to cloud identity platforms. A user gets elevated permissions only after a request is approved; those permissions last for a set time window, and Keeper removes them automatically once the window ends. No permanent privilege is left in place.

The main difference between Zero Standing Privilege (ZSP) and least privilege is that least privilege limits the amount of access an identity has, whereas ZSP limits both the amount of access and its duration. Least privilege grants every user or machine only the minimum permissions necessary to do its job, but those permissions tend to persist once a task is completed, leaving standing access behind.

OpenAI’s open letter on collective cyber defense warns that defenders have a limited window to strengthen security. It urges organizations to fix their highest-risk weaknesses, build least privilege and strong access controls, verify fixes, and make agentic identities traceable and accountable.
