Feature
As a privileged access management or PAM solutions provider, Delinea makes security seamless for the modern, hybrid enterprise. The company’s solutions empower organisations to secure critical data, devices, code, and cloud infrastructure to help reduce risk, ensure compliance and simplify security.
Delinea removes complexity and defines the boundaries of access for thousands of customers worldwide. Its customers range from small businesses to the world’s largest financial institutions, intelligence agencies, and critical infrastructure companies.
As organisations progress along their digital transformation journey, the challenge of growing complexity in IT environments cannot be ignored. Only a modern PAM approach with automated and context-aware access controls can properly support large-scale cloud transformation initiatives and answer the needs of the current hybrid environments, which require external access to all services.
The company offers a comprehensive portfolio of modern PAM solutions which provide the right users just-in-time and just-enough access to critical data, servers, and applications. It also provides end-to-end monitoring and reporting to identify abuse of privilege and quickly thwart attacks.
With a clear focus on customer needs, Delinea offers a comprehensive and competitively priced set of solutions that are easy to use and easy to implement by any organisation, from small- and medium-sized businesses to large enterprises. Providing a seamless integration and a seamless user experience to both end-users and administrators creates operational efficiencies and cost-saving opportunities as customers can avoid complicated and lengthy IT deployment projects. No wonder then, the company has grown three times as fast as its closest competitor.
PAM solution provides the right users with just-in-time and just-enough access to critical data, servers, and applications
Remote work, hybrid IT environments, and new types of applications and endpoints continue to expand the privileged account attack surface. This has created an urgent need for a holistic vision, bringing together PAM capabilities that address traditional and emerging use cases from one unified interface, what Delinea terms an Extended PAM.
The extended PAM approach redefines PAM to treat all users as privileged users and address complex IT environments. It ensures scalability by treating identity as the common thread for authentication and applying policy-based authorisation controls to meet zero trust and least privilege best practices.
