KuppingerCole named Delinea a Leader in Overall, Product, Innovation, and Market in its 2026 Leadership Compass for Privileged Access Management.
Why Delinea was named a Leader
The report points to a platform that has widened the scope of privileged access without losing the fundamentals. Among the strengths KuppingerCole highlights:
- Advanced Just-in-Time and just-enough privilege controls
- Endpoint privilege management across Windows, Linux, and macOS
- Continuous identity discovery that feeds posture and threat analysis
- Session monitoring with AI-assisted review and anomaly detection
- Governance that covers both native cloud vaults and third-party vaults
- A clear route from full admin accounts toward least privilege and zero standing privilege
The report singles out how these pieces fit together:
“A particularly relevant differentiator is Delinea’s approach of treating discovery, posture analysis, and control as part of a single continuum.”
