Race to Zero: From Standing Privilege to
Just-in-Time Access in 90 Minutes

Wednesday, Sept. 30, 2026  |  12:30 - 4:00pm CT  |  Chicago

Something in your environment is requesting privileged access right now, and there's a decent chance it isn't a person. Race to Zero is a hands-on lab where you replace standing privilege with just-in-time (JIT) access and runtime authorization for humans and AI agents alike. Every request generates a full audit trail showing exactly which actions were human and which were the agent's. 
 
What you'll build: 
You'll go from concept to implementation as you:  

  • Round 1: Just-in-time access workflow. Create a practical JIT access model designed to reduce standing privilege and improve operational efficiency.  

  • Round 2: Database and infrastructure access through StrongDM. Connect a live database and put governed JIT access in front of it.

  • Round 3: An AI agent under the same guardrails. Point an AI agent at your infrastructure and watch it run real commands under your policy, never holding a credential of its own, with a full audit trail of every action.   

  • Round 4: Layer in MFA and runtime authorization. Apply MFA and implement a Cedar-based policy to govern and enforce access controls for human and AI agents. 

Who should be in the room? 

Security engineers, IAM and PAM users, platform and DevOps engineers, the people running your AI agents and anyone who gets paged when access breaks at 2 a.m. 

Bring a teammate from the other side of the fence if you can. The lab works best when team members from different disciplines (security, infrastructure, AI)  sit at the same table and argue in real time. 

What to bring: 
A laptop and a browser. The whole lab runs in the browser, so there's nothing to install, nothing to spin up, and no prep work before you arrive.
