Delinea, Authomize partner to enhance cloud identity security controls

Delinea, a provider of privileged access management (PAM) solutions for seamless security, and Authomize, a provider of Cloud Identity and Access Security, have announced a strategic partnership to co-sell their products. When combined with available integrations, this robust solution provides consistent privileged access security across multiple cloud infrastructures and SaaS applications using a Zero Trust approach.

Organizations have lost critical visibility and control over their identity and access privileges to sensitive assets in their rush to the cloud. This leaves them reliant on a disjointed set of highly siloed controls that are inadequate for providing the comprehensive security required to enforce the least privilege across cloud environments.

According to Authomize research, based on a study of organizations with one to ten thousand employees, less than 10% of privileged roles and 37% of administrators are active. These unused privileges raise the risks of privilege creep and excessive privileges, which open the door to credential abuse and exposure.

To continuously secure the entire development stack, Authomize leverages its extensive capabilities and experience across cloud infrastructure environments. It provides granular cross-stack visibility across Cloud Service Providers and developer-critical SaaS

apps like GitHub to achieve full-stack cloud access security. Authomize monitors all identities, assets, and privileged access usage to provide a complete, actionable understanding of the cloud identity and access layer, allowing organizations to ensure security in any environment.

“Our partnership with Authomize furthers our commitment to ensure that our customers’ cloud and SaaS environments remain secure by protecting sensitive cloud-native identities and entitlements,” said Ram Venkatachalam, Head of Strategy and Business Development at Delinea. “Authomize extends Delinea’s privileged access management capabilities with even more visibility over privileges in cloud infrastructure and adds a critical layer of continuous security.”

Delinea and Authomize have collaborated to develop joint use cases that will allow organizations to better control who has access to cloud applications and services. By combining the two products, organizations can securely store credentials while automating access governance, reducing credential theft and lateral movement in all cloud environments, including Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), and others.

“We are excited to bring our full-stack CIEM, SaaS security, and Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR) capabilities to Delinea’s industry-recognized privileged access management solution,” said Dotan Bar Noy, CEO of Authomize. “This partnership with Delinea is the latest step in bringing a critical layer of security to our amazing, growing partner network, adding significant and needed value to Authomize and Delinea’s joint customers.”

Delinea’s modern PAM solution suite provides the foundation for secure access to IaaS and SaaS environments, enabling organizations to securely manage their credentials and access across their cloud applications and services.

Authomize provides a layer of protection for cloud identities by continuously monitoring access, validating, alerting, and providing actionable insights to mitigate risks and secure all applications and cloud services. Authomize, named a Cool Vendor for Identity-First Security by Gartner, offers a wide range of capabilities for addressing identity and access security use cases, including its robust Cloud Infrastructure Entitlement Management (CIEM) solutions, which are critical for securing access privileges in infrastructure services such as Azure and AWS.

Customers who use both products together gain the ability to gain just-enough and just-in-time access to cloud resources, resulting in an ideal cybersecurity posture with zero standing privileges, which significantly reduces risk due to excess privileges.

Beginning in August 2022, Authomize solutions will be available for purchase through Delinea. Delinea’s website can be found at delinea.com.
