Delinea - Experts & Thought Leaders

Delinea, a pioneering provider of solutions for securing human and non-human identities through centralised authorisation, has introduced new capabilities on its pioneering cloud-native platform, including credential and password support for workforce and business users, intelligent identity lifecycle management and behaviuoral analytics spanning all identity types. These new features will enable enterprises to comprehensively manage the full identity lifecycle across all users from any access point while automating management and entitlements as users evolve. Additionally, with the new Delinea Platform App, the power of the platform is now available on iOS and Android devices, enabling administrators to manage access from anywhere. Latest enhancements to the Delinea platform   Latest enhancements to the Delinea platform are aimed at helping firms create an all-encompassing security Identity has become a critical pillar of cybersecurity strategies, with over half of organisations allocating 20% or more of their IT budget to identity and access management technology and processes, according to recent Delinea research.  As identity-based attacks continue to surge, the latest enhancements to the Delinea platform are aimed at helping enterprises create an all-encompassing security environment to make it easier to manage all identities, enforce access policies, and respond to security threats. New additions to the Delinea Platform “The complexity of managing digital identities is only increasing, and organisations must overcome mounting challenges related to security visibility, access control, and automation,” said Jeremy Weiss, executive security strategist, GSSO at CDW. “The new additions to the Delinea Platform will enable our customers to address these challenges head-on with agile, intuitive, and scalable solutions that strengthen security and improve organisational efficiency.” Increase visibility with Delinea Credential Manager Administrators gain centralised oversight of all credentials and user activity across the entire workforce Delinea Credential Manager simplifies and secures credentials while providing IT administrators and security leaders with comprehensive visibility and control over access for every identity. The enterprise-grade vault reduces risk, boosts security policy adoption with a simplified experience, and ensures seamless user access across any device, anywhere. Administrators gain centralised oversight of all credentials and user activity across the entire workforce, while business users benefit from a user-friendly interface that makes credential access both frictionless and secure.  Unified access controls Administrators also gain real-time visibility into all identities and can simplify credential management, minimising shadow IT and credential fatigue. Unified access controls remove vulnerabilities business users present from disjointed credential use, improving productivity while maintaining strict security protocols.  Intelligently automate access provisioning with ILM IT and security teams can use ILM to reduce administrative overhead, enforce security protocols Identity Lifecycle Management (ILM) provides agile, centralised control over all identities, making it easy to automate joiner-mover-leaver (JML) processes and reduce the risk of overprovisioned or orphaned accounts. With the average onboarding process taking over four days, ILM drastically reduces the manual workload, providing efficient, secure, and auditable identity provisioning and de-provisioning across the organisation. IT and security teams can use ILM to reduce administrative overhead, enforce security protocols, and automate key workflows that improve both efficiency and compliance.  Reduce risk with Platform Analytics The Platform Analytics feature empowers IT and security teams to stay one step ahead of potential threats by continuously monitoring and analysing users’ digital behaviours. By establishing a baseline for each user’s behavior, Platform Analytics detects deviations and automatically triggers customised actions to address abnormal actions in real-time. Anywhere, anytime access with the Delinea Platform App Delinea Platform App offers administrators full visibility and control over their organisation’s identity The Delinea Platform App offers administrators full visibility and control over their organisation’s identity security environment, no matter where they are. With this secure mobile app, administrators can monitor and manage all identities, view behavior insights, configure security workflows, and respond to access requests, ensuring privileged access is continuously monitored and protected. Identity crisis in the age of AI “Enterprises today are facing a different kind of identity crisis in the age of AI, as they must now contend with an explosion of human and non-human identities to manage and provision,” said Phil Calvin, Chief Product Officer at Delinea. “In adding these new capabilities and mobile app to the Delinea Platform, we’re enabling our customers to be more agile. We’re constantly innovating to make it even easier to secure all identities, prevent unauthorised access to sensitive data, and streamline the management of user credentials, all while minimising user friction.” 

Delinea, a provider of solutions that seamlessly extend Privileged Access Management (PAM) announced the introduction of Privilege Control for Servers on the Delinea Platform, enforcing least privilege principles on critical systems consistently across identities to combat stolen credentials and restrict lateral movement. Delinea Platform The Delinea Platform combines enterprise vaulting, VPN-less privileged remote access, and privilege controls to enforce just-in-time and just enough privileges to provide a more secure, resilient, scalable SaaS solution that expands with an organisation’s needs.  Delinea is changing how organisations enforce privilege as the new perimeter of security to reduce risk, more easily meet compliance, and improve productivity on a single unified cloud-native platform. Need for a multi-layered security approach The average ransomware payout escalated dramatically from $812,380 in 2022 to $1,542,333 in 2023 According to Verizon’s 2023 research, stolen credentials were involved in nearly half (49%) of the breaches in 2023. A report from Sophos indicates that the average ransomware payout escalated dramatically from $812,380 in 2022 to $1,542,333 in 2023, highlighting the increasing financial stakes for victims.  Organisations need a multi-layered security approach to limit privileges so that if credentials or identities are compromised, they can limit the impact of ransomware and other threats. Prevent lateral movement to contain cyber incidents As part of the Delinea Platform, which provides seamless and easy-to-deploy PAM, Privilege Control for Servers centrally elevates privileges on Active Directory identities as needed to limit standing privileges, enforcing least privilege best practices. Customers can limit shared credential sprawl & manage privileged access to Windows, Linux, and Unix servers in hybrid cloud environments, which are enforced on the machine, limiting lateral movement. Customers can enforce Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) at vault log-in, credential access, server log-in, and privilege elevation using MFA at depth, providing identity assurance to mitigate the risk of compromised credentials or identities and meet increasing regulatory and cyber insurance requirements. VPN-less and agentless privileged remote access For remote workers and vendors, VPN-less and agentless privileged remote access provides a secure means of accessing critical resources and data, whether using a vaulted credential or an Active Directory identity, without ever seeing or entering a credential.  Privileged activities are consistently authorised based on policies, and remote sessions are recorded and audited. AI-driven auditing As a shared capability, session, and audit data is unified and saved in the Delinea Platform, simplifying storage In Privilege Control for Servers, session recording and auditing occur on the host, so data cannot be altered. As a shared capability, session, and audit data is unified and saved in the Delinea Platform, simplifying storage and access while taking advantage of Delinea’s innovative AI-driven auditing (in public preview) to dramatically reduce the time to identify potentially dangerous activities without manually reviewing hours of session recordings. Privilege is the new perimeter of security “Threats like ransomware continue to evolve, and organisations need to reduce the risk of stolen credentials and lateral movement drastically. As identities and environments become more complex, privilege is the new perimeter of security,” said Phil Calvin, Chief Product Officer at Delinea. “The introduction of Privilege Control for Servers adds even more robust authorisation to the Delinea Platform, the first cloud-native unified PAM platform that is more secure, resilient, and scalable than other solutions.” First unified cloud-native PAM platform Privilege is the new perimeter of security for modern enterprises. Privilege Control for Servers provides deeper and more robust privilege protection as part of the Delinea Platform. Customers can layer security defences on privileged activities with Secret Server for shared credentials, privileged remote access, and privilege controls to more effectively prevent credential theft and the ability to access critical data and infrastructure. 99.99% uptime and zero-time upgrades Delinea Platform is more resilient, with multiple redundancy levels that automatically ensure the availability Built using modern cloud architecture, the Delinea Platform is more resilient, with multiple redundancy levels that automatically ensure the availability of all capabilities with contracted 99.99% uptime and zero-time upgrades to ensure privileged access is always available. Shared capabilities like continuous discovery, policies, MFA at depth, auditing, session recording, integrations, and AI-driven analytics simplify administration. Delinea can quickly and constantly provide its customers with updates, enhancements, and innovations to address their needs and respond to evolving threats safely and reliably using modern DevOps practices. Privilege Control for Servers Privilege Control for Servers sets the direction for enforcing just-in-time and just enough privileges through the Delinea Platform. As solutions are added to the platform, they will adopt this naming convention (Privilege Control for [Use Case]) to help customers easily identify the solutions required to meet their unique Privileged Access Management and identity security requirements.
