Reduce machine identity risk

Machine identities such as service accounts, API and SSH keys, tokens, certificates, and other digital credentials, outnumber human identities in enterprise environments, increasing your identity risk and management costs. Delinea discovers machine identities, vaults associated secrets, enforces least-privilege access, and automates lifecycle managementfrom provisioning to deprovisioning.

Challenges with securing machine identities 

  • Exponential growth due to increased workloads and cloud-native architectures
  • Operate at high speed and scale, often with complex interdependencies
  • Fragmented, inconsistent governance, documentation, and ownership
  • Often created with excessive access permissions
  • Unknown or misunderstood dependencies without human oversight
  • Secrets stored in code and configuration files

Protect machine identities with the Delinea Platform

Reveal machine identities in your environment

Machine identities sprawl across clouds, containers, pipelines, and applications, creating blind spots for identity and security teams. Delinea continuously discovers machine identities across on-premises and cloud, builds an inventory with ownership and context, and keeps it current so you can apply precise security policies.  

Explore Discovery & Inventory

Assess and fortify machine identity security posture

Attackers can abuse over-privileged machine identities. Delinea baselines machine-identity activity, risk-scores anomalies with AI, and can pull access, reset/rotate credentials, or require step-up authentication, with recommended or automated responses and full auditability. 

Explore Identity Posture & Threat Analysis

Eliminate static secrets for machine identities

Hard-coded secrets and long-lived keys in repositories and code are easy targets. Delinea centralizes credential vaulting, integrates with third-party key vaults, and issues short-lived certificates so machine identities can authenticate instantly.  

Explore Protected Credentials

Secure machine-to-machine connections

Delinea provides secure machine-to-machine access and confines the use of credentials to approved targets, reducing the risk of lateral movement. 

Explore Privileged Secure Access

Establish JIT access & Zero Standing Privilege

Standing permissions for background services and service accounts accumulate over time and are rarely reviewed. Delinea provides access only when requests and context meet policy, then automatically expires and cleans up accounts, roles, and secrets when tasks are complete. 

Explore Just-in-time & Zero Standing Privilege

Enforce ownership and compliance for machine identities

As pipelines, services, and automation interact across environments, manual governance of machine identities can’t keep pace. Delinea automates access reviews and lifecycle workflows for service accounts and keys, and tracks certificate/secret rotation to streamline audits.

Take the next step to secure machine identities

The Delinea Platform helps you secure every identity operating in your environment at every interaction. By centralizing and automating identity security controls, you reduce risk, ensure compliance, and accelerate productivity.
