Redefining Identity Security: Welcoming Ketan Kapadia as Britive’s Field CTO

We’re thrilled to announce that Ketan Kapadia has joined Britive as our Field CTO! 

With more than 25 years of experience in cybersecurity, Ketan has shaped the evolution of Identity and Access Management (IAM) through multiple generations of threat landscapes, architectures, and innovation cycles. As a founder with multiple successful exits and a hands-on expert in Zero Trust and modern authentication, he’s helped enterprises across sectors secure access at scale and redefine what identity-first security can look like. 

Now, he’s bringing that expertise to Britive. 

Why Britive, Why Now? 

Organizations are under pressure to modernize privileged access at cloud scale, and the shortcomings of legacy approaches have long been obvious. 

Excessive standing access, unmanaged machine identities, brittle vault infrastructure, and poor cloud integration leave critical systems exposed. Meanwhile, developers, security engineers, and AI agents all need secure access without friction or delays. 

Britive’s mission is simple but urgent: eliminate standing privileges, automate secure access across all environments, and do it without slowing down the teams who build and operate today’s digital businesses while allowing them to embrace technological innovations. 

That means: 

• Just-in-time access with true ephemeral permissions 
• A common policy engine for cloud, SaaS, and on-prem 
• Secrets and credentials that vanish after use 
• Unified access governance for human and non-human identities 
• Support for AI-driven workflows and agentic systems 

Ketan joins Britive at a pivotal moment, not just for our company, but for the identity market itself. 

Leading the Shift in Managing Privileged Access & Agentic Identity Security

Ketan’s arrival reflects what more CISOs, architects, and cloud leaders already see: privileged access across all identities is at the heart of Zero Trust. 

As organizations adopt AI agents to build, deploy, and operate systems autonomously, the identity perimeter is shifting again. AI agents don’t follow conventional access rules. They require dynamic privileges. They operate across toolchains. They demand continuous oversight.  

Britive is at the forefront of securing these next-generation identities, governing their lifecycles, enforcing Zero Standing Privileges (ZSP), and making it possible to embrace agentic AI without increasing risk. Aragon Research has recognized Britive’s pioneering efforts in the Agentic Identity Security Platform (AISP) space as one of the only platforms with the ability to securely manage AI agents and agentic systems.

As Field CTO, Ketan will be deeply involved in leading this shift: guiding enterprise strategies, informing industry frameworks, and ensuring our customers are prepared for the next era of automation and identity complexity. 

We’re proud to welcome Ketan to Britive, and we’re excited for what we’ll accomplish together. 

If you’re leading an identity transformation, considering Zero Trust adoption, or wondering how to govern non-human and AI access at scale, Ketan and the team would love to connect.
