IDENTITY CONTROL

Control what AI agents, human and machine identities do after access is granted

Standing privilege is where breaches start, and AI agents create it faster than humans. Delinea reduces it where risk demands, across AI agents, human and machine identities by authorizing actions at execution with a defensible record of every access decision.

Getting in is not the hard part

What actions are taken after login determines the damage. Traditional controls cannot authorize a query or an API call as it happens, so standing privileges build with no accountability.

With Delinea, access exists only as long as the task and actions are authorized at the moment of execution.

Every action is controlled. Every outcome is defensible.

 

One enforcement model for AI agents, human and machines

Reduce standing privilege in weeks, without a rip-and-replace and without disrupting how teams work by extending the privileged access controls you have into continuous control from login to action.

Scale AI without scaling risk

AI agents move faster than your review cycles do. With Delinea, they operate under the same enforcement model as every other identity, so adoption keeps moving, and privilege never has to be taken on trust.

  • Unauthorized agent actions stop at execution, not in a postmortem.
  • No standing privilege accumulates; credentials expire with the task.
  • Accelerate AI adoption securely and defend against AI-driven attacks, from one platform

Remove the standing access attackers rely on

The credentials attackers hunt are no longer there to find. Vaulting, rotations and just-in-time remove standing credentials without disrupting the systems and teams that depend on them.

  • Vault and rotate credentials automatically; no password is reusable.
  • Grant elevated access just-in-time, then revoke it automatically.

Standardizing credential vaulting and automated rotation resulted in an 80%+ reduction in standing privileged credentials through just-in-time access and rotation.

Enforce policy at the moment of action

Lateral movement and privilege escalation are stopped before they succeed, because each session, query, command and API call is evaluated against identity, context and policy as it happens.
  • Compliance gets a forensic trail.
  • Security gets visibility into behavior that doesn’t belong.

Control and close the path around privileged accounts

Attackers go where controls are not. With one policy framework across access vectors, attackers have fewer weak doors to try.
  • No blind spots in remote vendor and contractor sessions.
  • Compromised workstations stop before they become a foothold.
  • Business users and applications no longer create access gaps.

decrease in unauthorized remote access by employees and vendors

Compliance that holds without fire drills

When regulators ask, the evidence is already there. One policy governs AI agents, human and machine identities across on-premise, cloud and SaaS from a single platform.

  • Privilege creep is corrected continuously, not at a quarterly review.
  • SOX, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS conflicts are blocked before they are exploitable.
  • Access reviews run automatically across business applications.
