Privileged Access Management for Kubernetes

Clusters and namespaces change faster than any access review cycle can track. Delinea keeps Kubernetes access scoped to what’s running right now, across the cluster, the namespace, and the API server.

Access That Keeps Up with Your Cluster

Access expires when the pod does.

Pods spin up, scale, and disappear on their own schedule, not yours. Delinea adjusts access in real time as your cluster topology changes, so nobody has to remember to revoke access to a pod that no longer exists. A user’s permissions track the resources that are running instead of a static role someone configured six months ago.

Namespace Boundaries That Actually Hold

One cluster, dozens of tenants, no shared reach.

Multi-tenant clusters put dozens of teams inside the same control plane. Delinea enforces access at the namespace level, so a developer authorized for the checkout namespace cannot reach the billing namespace just because they share a cluster. If one namespace gets compromised, Delinea keeps the blast radius contained there.

The API Server Gets the Same Scrutiny as a Production Server

The least-watched component in the cluster, watched.

The Kubernetes API server is the single point of control for the whole cluster, and it’s often the least monitored part of the stack. Delinea applies the same session recording, authorization, and real-time policy enforcement to the API server that it applies to every other privileged resource, so no configuration change happens off the record.

WHY DELINEA
Built for the Way Your Team Works


  • Compliance-Ready

    When a review comes around, auditors get one trail that already includes network hardware, instead of a separate export from the network team.

     

  • Fits Around Legacy Jump Servers

    Teams running Kubernetes access through a shared jump server or a single service account can move to Delinea without replacing existing infrastructure. Delinea sits in front of the cluster and takes over authentication, authorization and auditing, so the migration happens one cluster at a time.

     

  • Extends Your Existing PAM Investment

    If your organization already vaults credentials and manages privileged accounts with a tool like Delinea Secret Server, Just-in-Time adds policy-based access to network hardware on top of that investment instead of asking you to replace it.

“We chose Delinea because it’s the one solution to rule them all. You integrate all your data sources,
all your servers, and all your Kubernetes clusters into Delinea. You give your developers one simple tool
they need to connect using SSO, and they have access to what they own.”

A Tailored Solution Just for Your Organization

Whether you run one cluster or forty across three clouds, alongside databases and hardware nobody wants to touch, Delinea connects to the technology you already run. Delinea fits your environment. You don’t have to fit it.
