An engineer with standing admin rights hands an attacker the same rights on every resource that grant covers, with no further work.
Pipeline tokens sit in environment variables and config files. No MFA prompt stands in the way and nothing expires on its own.
Agents act on someone's behalf at machine speed, calling tools faster than any review process runs.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Whether you’re running a single PostgreSQL instance or a dozen database engines across clouds, Delinea connects to the technology you already run. Delinea fits your environment. You don’t have to fit it.
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.
