How integrated, intelligent identity security makes you more productive

Fragmented identity security drains valuable time from IT and security teams.

Often, projects stall as teams wait on access approvals from other departments. According to the 2024 CDW Cybersecurity Report, most organizations (68%) are juggling between 10 and 49 security tools or platforms, a challenge that significantly strains resources.

Siloed tools and manual processes create delays and inefficiencies, leading to lost productivity. Those unproductive moments pile up over time. What starts as a small inconvenience can lead to mistakes, higher costs, frustrated employees, and greater risk. Under pressure to deliver on business goals, people may push back on or even skip security best practices.

As both human and machine identities grow, the ability to efficiently authorize and govern these identities becomes essential to support business growth

Introducing intelligent, automated solutions simplifies and accelerates identity management, allowing teams to focus on higher-value work.

AI and automation are transforming identity security

An integrated, AI-driven identity security strategy is critical to maintaining a secure, productive environment as identities proliferate. Extensive use of AI in security can reduce the time to identify and contain a data breach by up to 32%, saving organizations up to 33% on the cost of a data breach, according to IBM. With the shortage of security professionals and the large volume of data and alerts coming in from different security solutions, organizations can find it challenging to determine how to respond.

Empowering security professionals with dynamic identity security solutions that can identify anomalous behavior faster, surface useful answers to technical questions, and leverage dynamic data to make access decisions more automated helps make those teams more effective.

Detect identity-related anomalies faster using AI-assisted reviews

For continuously monitoring privileged identities, Delinea pioneered session recording, empowering IT and security teams to examine events and activities for indicators of compromise and post-event identity forensics. However, many teams don’t have the time or skilled staff to review all of their recorded sessions.

Delinea’s AI-Driven Auditing (AIDA) transforms privileged session monitoring by seamlessly analyzing recorded sessions to detect and highlight early indicators of potential cyber incidents automatically. This advanced feature identifies suspicious activity, such as authorization and privilege elevation failures and unexpected deletions and downloads.

Sessions with anomalous activity are flagged in a dashboard, enabling administrators to prioritize critical events quickly. With the ability to analyze a full 10-minute session recording in one minute, AIDA significantly reduces the time teams spend on manual reviews, allowing them to focus on critical anomalies. By summarizing activity and alerts, AIDA accelerates investigations, helping teams proactively mitigate risks before they escalate into serious threats. 

Skill up teams with a conversational AI expert

With so many security solutions to manage, IT and security team members struggle to find time to learn new skills and stay up to date.

Delinea Expert is your intelligent, responsive and reliable digital assistant on the Delinea Platform. It provides clear answers, actionable recommendations, and technical guidance seamlessly in line with workflows, ensuring every team member is an SME. With plain language understanding and responses available in multiple languages, the cutting-edge conversational AI ensures that all users have instant access to curated Delinea knowledge and the details they need to keep critical assets secure.

This enables teams to do more with less. With Delinea Expert, teams can work smarter, tackling automation and security tasks confidently, with no downtime or interruption to workflows.

What’s next? Intelligent, automated access governance

Organizations today face significant productivity and security challenges with identity lifecycle management. On average, new employee onboarding takes over four days. From changing roles to offboarding, many users are overprovisioned, leaving sensitive access unchecked.

Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) is an area of identity security burdened with rigid, monolithic systems and complex processes—not to mention lack of integration with other identity security solutions. So, to make you more productive, we are busy integrating former Fastpath identity governance and access control products into the Delinea Platform. The Delinea Platform will provide a range of features, such as lifecycle management and access certification, to address the challenge of overprovisioned access.

Delinea’s approach centers around enforcing least privilege using intelligent policies that adapt in real-time. Providing automated access reviews and joiner-mover-leaver processes based on identity attributes and risk context will help enforce least privilege policies consistently across identities and improve operational efficiency.

Unlocking the power of a centralized identity security platform

While automation and ease-of-use are key to modern identity security, the true game-changers are integration and intelligence. Because all identity security solutions on the Delinea Platform share a central data model and architecture, only Delinea can make this possible.

Tighter integration between IGA, PAM, and ITDR will boost your productivity even higher. Interoperability across these domains on the Delinea Platform will allow you to adapt nimbly to a constantly changing environment and make risk-based decisions, for example proactively identifying high-risk identities so teams can make informed or automated access control decisions.
