Delinea and Climb Channel Solutions Extend Global Partnership to Europe

Partnership extends to UK, Ireland, and DACH to strengthen identity security for European enterprises  

SAN FRANCISCO – January 20, 2026 – Delinea, a pioneering provider of solutions for securing human and machine identities through centralized authorization, today announced the expansion of its longstanding distribution partnership with Climb Channel Solutions Ireland, an international specialty technology distributor and wholly owned subsidiary of Climb Global Solutions, Inc. The agreement, which has seen significant and sustained success in North America, is now being extended to Europe with an initial focus on Ireland, the UK, and DACH regions. 

“Our expanded partnership with Climb is designed to drive growth across key regions and help customers address escalating identity security challenges in the age of AI,” said Chris Kelly, President, Delinea. “Compromised credentials remain the biggest risk to organisations today. By partnering with Climb in Europe, we can help more customers reduce the blast radius of identity-based threats while staying ahead of increasingly sophisticated adversaries. With its extensive partner network, hands-on approach, and proven track record in scaling security technologies, Climb is an ideal distributor for Delinea as we continue our international expansion.” 

To support the European expansion, Climb has appointed Amy Nairne-Clark as Cyber Security Vendor Manager. With 20 years of IT distribution and cybersecurity experience, Amy will lead the regional go-to-market strategy and develop new opportunities for partners across the launch regions. 

“After years of proven success with Delinea in North America, expanding our partnership into Europe is the natural next step, and a strategically important one,” said Gerard Brophy, CRO, Climb. “Identity-driven threats are accelerating as organisations embrace AI. Our partners need modern, AI-augmented security technologies that give their customers confidence and resilience. Delinea’s platform does exactly that. We are committed to expanding our cybersecurity portfolio in Europe, and Delinea is a cornerstone of that investment.” 

Delinea was recognised as a Leader in the 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Privileged Access Management, marking its seventh consecutive appearance. This reflects the company’s longstanding innovation, trusted customer base, and its leadership across workload identity, secrets management, CIEM, UNIX/Linux privilege elevation (PEDM), and privileged credential management. Backed by 99.995% guaranteed uptime, Delinea is the only PAM vendor offering this level of assurance. 

Climb will also host partner launch events in London, Dublin, and Munich in Q1 2026, helping partners to understand Delinea’s platform and offering practical guidance on strengthening trust, resilience, and real-time identity security as AI adoption continues to accelerate.
