Secure human identities from login to action

IT admins, employees, contractors and developers hold the access cyber criminals want most. Delinea finds each one, scores its risk and revokes access when the task is done.

 

Challenges with securing human identities

 

  • Admin, workforce and developer accounts scattered across on-premise, cloud and SaaS with no clear inventory.
  • Standing admin rights and local admin privileges that never expire.
  • Shared, reused and hard-coded credentials passed between coworkers and pipelines.
  • Manual provisioning and access reviews that leave orphaned accounts and privilege creep until an audit or an incident.

Strengthen identity security across admins, employees and developers

Most breaches start with access that already existed: a domain admin credential never rotated, an employee with local admin rights, a developer secret in a repo. Here is how Delinea closes that gap.
 

See each human identity as it appears

Delinea discovers human privileged accounts the moment they exist, across Active Directory, cloud, SaaS apps and CI/CD tools, including the shadow admins and local accounts nobody provisioned. One identity graph, shows where privilege piles up and which accounts carry real risk.

Score risk by what people do

Entitlements show what an identity could do. Delinea measures what it actually does. Overprivileged admins, unused employee access and stale developer keys are scored on real exposure so you fix the riskiest first. Segregation of duties flags conflicts before a SOX, HIPAA or PCI-DSS auditor does.

 

Authorize each action, not just the login

Access alone is not control. Delinea vaults and rotates credentials, grants just-in-time access scoped to the task and revokes it when it ends. Each privileged action is checked against policy as it happens, and risky ones are blocked in the session, not just recorded. No local admin rights for employees, no tickets for developers.
