In the face of escalating threats and tightening regulations, standing privileges remain one of the most under-addressed risks in enterprise environments. For Governance, Risk, and Compliance professionals, static access undermines least-privilege mandates, complicates audits, and widens the gap between intent and enforcement.

This session explores a practical framework to eliminate standing access while aligning with Zero Trust principles. Drawing from real-world case studies and field experience, John Martinez will outline five tactical steps organizations can take to:

• Identify and prioritize high-risk resources
• Implement time-bound access without disrupting workflows
• Leverage context (device, location, behavior) for dynamic enforcement
• Automate and centralize access policy governance
• Continuously monitor and refine controls for audit readiness

Attendees will leave with a blueprint they can apply across hybrid infrastructure to reduce privileged risk, demonstrate policy enforcement, and meet modern compliance expectations — without compromising operational agility.
