Stop unauthorized access to the systems that move money

Every human, machine and AI identity is granted just-in-time privileged access, with every action recorded end-to-end, so you walk into every exam with evidence.

One compromised account decides how bad a breach gets, and the record proves it. A single unpatched vendor flaw exposed roughly 824,000 consumers across 80 banks and credit unions, and a third of financial-sector breaches arrive through a third party. Examiners now test identity controls directly, from OCC, Fed and FDIC third-party reviews to the SEC’s Reg S-P priority.

Reduce identity risk without slowing the business
Tighter control doesn't have to mean slower banking. Delinea reduces identity risk in phases, starting where exposure is highest.

  • Start where examiners look: third-party access

    Scope it, time-box it, record it. Then expand to core banking, SWIFT and service accounts at a pace your teams can absorb.

  • An identity security platform, not just PAM

    Delinea extends Privileged Access Management (PAM) into continuous authorization, checking every privileged action against policy as it runs, not just at login. Every decision is enforced in the moment and recorded as proof.

  • Built for the systems banking already runs

    Delinea works with the estate you run today, core banking to mainframes to cloud, with hundreds of validated integrations. No rip-and-replace. 

See, control and defend every action

Financial institutions run on logins security teams can’t fully see: vendors, AI tools or service accounts nobody remembers creating. Delinea gives you one place to see, control and prove every privileged action.

You can’t control access you can’t see

Continuous discovery surfaces every privileged identity across your estate, including the ones nobody mapped. That living inventory is your exposure map, and the first evidence an examiner asks to see.  

Risk hides in the access nobody watches

Excessive permissions, orphaned credentials and segregation of duties (SoD) conflicts. Delinea finds and routes them for remediation, so the fintech account that should have been disabled months ago gets closed before it is exploited, not after. 

Standing access is an open door

A database administrator, outsourced vendor, or AI agent gets just-in-time access that is revoked when the work is done. Delinea keeps privileged access controlled and monitored, so teams can move quickly without leaving standing access behind. 

Walk into the exam with evidence

Every session is recorded and the audit trail builds itself. When an examiner asks who touched the cardholder data environment, the record is pulled instead of having logs reconstructed by hand. Or, when a breach is reported, what the identity reached is answered in hours, not weeks.

Why financial services teams choose Delinea

Many of the identities touching client funds today aren’t people. They’re third parties, service accounts and AI copilots that already hold production credentials, and a vault checked on a schedule can’t keep up with them. Continuous authorization can, and it builds the inventory you’ll need when the board asks how AI identities are controlled.

Continuous authorization in practice
A compromised identity gets caught when it acts, not months later. Policy and behavioral analytics authorize every privileged action at runtime, for AI agents and humans alike. Entry can't always be prevented. Containment can.

Built for finance’s third-party problem

Fintech partners and outsourced IT get fast, VPN-less access with no standing privilege and every session recorded: the oversight evidence Reg S-P requires of SEC registrants and the interagency guidance expects of banks.

Consolidate your current vault

Most institutions arrive with existing vaults and incomplete deployments. Delinea supplements what is already in place, then consolidates access and credentials in phases you control. No credential rotates until its dependencies are mapped.

Audit-ready for what’s in force

The evidence auditors ask for is built in across PCI DSS 4.0.1, SOX, DORA and the amended NYDFS Part 500, with object-level SoD extending governance across SAP, Oracle, Workday and Dynamics.
