Delinea Offering for Microsoft Entra Permissions Management (MEPM)
Retirement Transition
What has occurred?
Microsoft will retire and end support for Microsoft Entra Permissions Management (MEPM) on October 1, 2025, and new purchases of MEPM will be unavailable starting April 1, 2025.
Existing customers will retain access to MEPM between April 1, 2025 - September 30, 2025. Since the product will be retired, Microsoft has recommended that customers who have deployed the product in their environment start planning for transition and customers who have not deployed the product refrain from deploying.
How does this impact my organization?
In support of transitioning from MEPM, Microsoft has partnered with Delinea as a Preferred Partner. Delinea will offer functionality comparable to that currently utilized with MEPM. Delinea offers a cloud-native, fully Microsoft-compatible Cloud Infrastructure Entitlement Management (CIEM) solution on the Delinea Platform to support Microsoft customers and ensure continuity of services and compliance maintenance.
Who is Delinea?
Delinea is pioneering how organizations apply context and intelligence for human and machine identities throughout the lifecycle across cloud and traditional infrastructure, data, and SaaS applications to eliminate identity-related threats. Learn more about Delinea.
What is the Delinea solution?
Delinea offers a CIEM solution with a comparable feature set to that of MEPM. Delinea Privilege Control for Cloud Entitlements (PCCE) is designed to enhance security across multi-cloud environments by enforcing least privilege access. It provides continuous discovery of entitlements, enabling organizations to monitor and adjust access rights for both human and machine identities across Azure, AWS and GCP public clouds. PCCE helps mitigate risks by identifying and removing excessive privileges and misconfigurations in cloud service provider environments. It leverages AI/ML analytics to provide insights into identity usage, ensuring compliance with security standards.
Delinea provides PCCE through the Azure Marketplace or directly through Delinea or our authorized Partners.
