Identity & Access Management
Delinea Platform
PAM platform unifying vaulting, just-in-time access, and CIEM under continuous authorization.
Delinea Platform Overview
What it does
The Delinea Platform is a Privileged Access Management (PAM) platform that extends traditional credential vaulting and session control into continuous authorization across human, machine, and AI identities. Its distinguishing mechanism is a unified identity security control plane governed by Iris AI, an embedded engine that continuously discovers every identity, scores its risk, and authorizes each access decision in real time instead of granting standing privilege at login.
How it works
The platform follows a visibility, posture, and control sequence. It continuously discovers and inventories identities and privileged accounts across cloud, on-premises, and hybrid environments, then analyzes access relationships to surface misconfigurations, over-permissioned accounts, and shadow AI. Enforcement runs through modules including Secret Server for credential vaulting and rotation, Privilege Manager and Server PAM for endpoint and server privilege elevation, Privileged Remote Access for third-party sessions, DevOps Secrets Vault for machine secrets, and Privilege Control for Cloud Infrastructure Entitlement Management (CIEM), all applying just-in-time access and zero standing privilege with recorded, auditable sessions.
Credentials and traction
Delinea is named a Leader in the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Privileged Access Management for the seventh consecutive time, extending prior Leader placements earned as Thycotic and Centrify. The platform holds SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, and PCI DSS certifications and secures more than one million identities daily across a customer base exceeding 20,000 organizations. It serves enterprises standardizing privileged access for human, machine, and AI identities on a single control plane.
