Welcome to the first “Delinea Partner Spotlight”! In this series, we’ll highlight our top Partners, the unique value they bring to Delinea’s customers, and how together we’re delivering innovative security solutions for today’s most complex security problems to more customers than ever before.
At Delinea, our partnership with CDW is integral to expanding access to cutting-edge identity security solutions and unlocking significant growth opportunities for both companies. Together, we're addressing the evolving cybersecurity landscape and enabling more businesses to thrive securely and efficiently.
Our joint efforts are exemplified by a shared commitment to seamless, scalable, and purpose-built identity security solutions. From Delinea’s perspective, CDW isn't just a partner—they're pivotal in bridging innovative solutions directly to everyone, especially small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) that are often underserved by conventional offerings.
Today, we’re sharing our latest collaboration, making identity security accessible for SMBs. We’ll discuss the latest ways CDW and Delinea are providing seamless, purpose-fit security solutions for SMBs struggling to get started or mature their security posture. Read on to discover how CDW and Delinea simplify access to top-tier identity security for SMBs.
For small and medium-sized businesses, security risks abound. From security risks associated with accelerated growth to incessantly evolving and sophisticated cyberattacks, it’s easy to see that SMBs need the right identity security now. Small and medium-sized businesses are dealing with growth-related challenges that come with the territory of running a thriving small business.
Their employees log in daily from offices all over the United States. Additionally, with the growing trend of offshoring for efficiency, they also have employees and contractors located worldwide. Business is strong and expansion is steady. However, many SMB information security teams do not have the resources, bandwidth, or proper tools to solve for today’s ever-evolving threats.
SMBs are quickly realizing “checking the box” isn't enough anymore
This means SMBs try to just “check the box” when it comes to Identity and Access Management (IAM). However, with various back-end systems, rapid growth, and fierce market competition, SMBs are finding their (IAM) solutions require significant manual intervention, don’t give them a centralized view across their entire security estate and are creating more risk and vulnerability by the day. Especially due to the fact that they have employees, contractors, vendors, suppliers, and other service providers coming and going so frequently. They’re quickly realizing “checking the box” isn't enough anymore to meet their overall security needs.
Delinea has recently introduced new capabilities on its leading cloud-native platform, including credential and password support for both workforce and business users, intelligent identity lifecycle management, and behavioral analytics that span all identity types. These features, combined with CDW’s expertise and services, would enable small and medium-sized businesses 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 Delinea Platform is now available on iOS and Android devices, enabling administrators to manage access from anywhere - a huge benefit for busy, understaffed SMBs.
“The complexity of managing digital identities is only increasing, and organizations 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 organizational efficiency.”
Delinea Credential Manager simplifies and secures credentials, providing IT administrators and security leaders with comprehensive access control for every identity. The enterprise-grade vault, made available and affordable through purpose-fit small and medium-sized business (SMB) identity solutions, reduces risk, simplifies security policy adoption, and ensures seamless user access across devices. Administrators gain centralized credential oversight and user activity, while business users benefit from a user-friendly interface for frictionless and secure credential access.
SMB administrators can finally feel in control by gaining real-time visibility into all identities, simplifying credential management and minimizing shadow IT and credential fatigue, which is often seen as a leading problem in the SMB sector. Unified access controls eliminate vulnerabilities from disjointed credential use, boosting productivity while maintaining strict security.
Identity Lifecycle Management (ILM) offers agile, centralized control over all identities, simplifying joiner-mover-leaver (JML) processes and reducing the risk of overprovisioned or orphaned accounts. With the average onboarding process taking over four days, ILM significantly reduces manual workload, providing efficient, secure, and auditable identity provisioning and de-provisioning for small and medium-sized businesses low on resources, bandwidth, and time.
Now, small IT and security teams can leverage ILM to streamline administrative tasks, enforce security protocols, and automate key workflows for enhanced efficiency and compliance.
The Platform Analytics feature empowers IT and security teams to monitor and analyze users’ digital behaviors continuously. It establishes a baseline for each user’s behavior, detects deviations, and triggers customized actions to address abnormal actions in real-time.
The Delinea Platform App provides SMB administrators with complete visibility and control over their organization’s identity security environment, anytime, anywhere. It enables monitoring, management, behavior insights, security workflow configuration, and access request response, ensuring continuous privileged access monitoring and protection.
By partnering with CDW, Delinea continues to reach broader markets, driving growth not only for ourselves but also for CDW by adding differentiated, high-value cybersecurity solutions to their portfolio. Together, we are strengthening defenses against identity-based cyber threats and empowering SMBs to protect their digital environments with the robust, scalable, and user-friendly identity security solutions that are critical for them to navigate today's complex digital landscape confidently and successfully.
