Secure AI identities, including agents and autonomous systems

AI identities now act on their own: requesting access, moving data, and invoking APIs across cloud and on-premise systems. Delinea discovers AI agents and services, vaults their secrets, enforces just-in-time least privilege access, and automates lifecycle oversight so AI access stays intentional, time-bound, and auditable.

Challenges with securing AI identities

  • No consistent ownership or lifecycle governance
  • Limited visibility into shadow AI, external model usage, and dependency chains
  • Rapid model and tool changes that outpace manual reviews and deprovisioning
  • Large, diverse, externally sourced datasets susceptible to poisoning

Secure AI identities with the Delinea Platform

Discover and catalog every AI identity

AI agents, orchestrators, and model integrations sprawl across clouds, SaaS, and pipelines, often without clear ownership. Delinea continuously discovers these AI identities, normalizes them into a central inventory with owners, and keeps them up to date, allowing you to apply precise identity security policies and eliminate blind spots. 

Explore Discovery & Inventory

Identify AI identity risks in real time

AI entities can over-request permissions, reuse leaked tokens, or access unexpected datasets as contexts evolve. Delinea baselines AI behavior, assigns risk scores using analytics, and can trigger remediation such as access removal, credential rotation, or step-up controls—backed by recommended or automated actions and full audit trails. 

Explore Identity Posture & Threat Analysis

Replace static secrets with short-lived credentials

Hard-coded keys and long-lived tokens in prompts, repositories, and orchestration scripts expose AI identities to compromise. Delinea centralizes and manages secrets for AI tools and services, providing out-of-the-box templates that offer granular controls, including password rotation and check-in/check-out.  

Explore Protected Credentials

Control AI-to-system access by policy

AI agents connect to databases, apps, and external models through APIs that can be misused if not governed. Delinea applies policy-based authorization, brokers credentials, and confines AI access to approved targets and contexts to reduce the risk of lateral movement. Full audit trails simplify reporting.  

Explore Privileged Secure Access

Grant JIT, zero-standing AI access

Standing permissions for AI tools and automations accumulate and are rarely reviewed. Delinea grants credentials only when requests and context meet policy, then automatically expires and cleans up roles, tokens, and secrets when tasks are complete.

Assign owners and automate compliance

As AI interacts with code and data, manual governance can’t keep pace. Delinea assigns accountable owners to each AI identity and audit activity, ensuring guardrails are in place
