# Posture

Automatically scan your cloud environment for access risks. P0 Security detects overprivileged accounts, stale credentials, and security vulnerabilities.

With Posture, P0 automatically scans your environment for access risks.

### Features

* Detects access vulnerabilities from authentication, authorization, and lateral movement
* Automatically determines finding assignees based on fine-grained resource ownership
* Provides automated remediation suggestions and lets users document acceptable risks

### How it works

P0 automatically scans your access graph for issues after collecting your [Access inventory](/readme/access-inventory.md).

For each finding, you can view the attack path, assign findings, and review auto-generated fixes.

### Getting started

P0 automatically collects posture findings after you follow [Creating an environment](/environments/creating-an-environment.md). For a Posture-focused walkthrough that covers running your first scan and triaging findings, see [Find risky access with Posture](/getting-started/getting-started-with-posture.md). The same scan also powers [Access Inventory](/inventory/access-inventory.md). To explore your access graph, see [Explore who has access to what with Access Inventory](/getting-started/getting-started-with-access-inventory.md).
