Assume the credential is compromised. Limit what it reaches.

Attackers rarely need malware once they hold a working credential. Delinea narrows what any single credential can reach across your infrastructure, whether a person, a service account or an AI agent is holding it and records what it did while connected.

  • A person's credential

    An engineer with standing admin rights hands an attacker the same rights on every resource that grant covers, with no further work.

    → Reach: everything that role touches.

  • A service account token

    Pipeline tokens sit in environment variables and config files. No MFA prompt stands in the way and nothing expires on its own.

    → Reach: whatever the pipeline was built to touch.

  • An AI agent's access

    Agents act on someone's behalf at machine speed, calling tools faster than any review process runs.

    → Reach: as wide as the person behind it.

Six controls that shrink an incident before it starts

  • One credential, one resource

    Policy evaluates every connection against the requester, the resource and the context before the session opens. A compromised credential reaches what policy allows in that moment, not everything its role was ever granted.

     

  • Nothing worth stealing at the endpoint

    Delinea pulls the credential from your vault and brokers the session. Keys and passwords never land in a terminal, a config file or a chat thread, which removes the artifact an attacker goes looking for first. 

     

  • Close the window on standing admin rights

    Engineers request access when they need it, scoped to one resource for a defined period, and approved in Slack or Teams. The grant closes on its own, which means there is no dormant privilege sitting around waiting to be inherited.

     

  • Service accounts inside the same policy

    A service account is its own principal with its own role scope, and policy can condition on whether the requester is a person or a machine. Automation keeps running while its reach stays bounded and its activity stays visible.

     

  • An agent cannot outrun your policy

    Delinea proxies Model Context Protocol servers, so an AI agent reaches tools through your access policy rather than around it. It inherits the entitlements of the person who invoked it, nothing more, and policy can forbid individual tool calls by name.

     

  • Evidence instead of inference

    Sessions record in full against a named principal, human or not, and SSH, RDP and Kubernetes sessions replay as they happened. Investigations start from what a principal actually ran rather than what the logs imply.

     

"The biggest impact of rolling out Delinea has been that it's been a boon for compliance and regulatory adherence, as well as freeing the data in a way, as it's much easier to access now."

ISO 27001 vs. SOC 2: understanding the difference

ISO 27001 can be 1.5 to 2 times more expensive than SOC 2 on average, but the ratio depends on each organization's needs and level of preparation.
