Delinea announces new extensions to its cloud-native identity security platform to help organizations secure and manage AI and machine identities.
Updates respond to prominent changes in corporate infrastructure. A study from Deline Arabo found that machine identity is now superior to the human identity of enterprise networks by a 46:1 ratio. Delinea’s latest features are designed to provide an automated guardrelli that discovers, manages and protects both mechanical and AI identities.
Newly announced features include Vault AI, which automates credential access and password management for AI systems, and AI’s safety AI, which minimizes privileged access to the AI infrastructure, manages qualifications, and reduces the risks associated with unwanted access or malfunctions. Still upcoming features include Discover AI, which is scheduled for preview in the second quarter of 2025. This helps IT administrators identify unauthorized use of AI and spread of machine identity across multicloud and hybrid environments. The AI-driven approval, which is planning a preview in late 2025, aims to provide just-in-time access to both human and machine identities, with a special focus on agent AI, to use real-time decision-making to assign and revoke privileges when necessary. Another planned feature, Identity AI, provides a large native language model for privileged accounts, aimed at allowing regulated organizations to leverage advanced AI within their own environments while meeting compliance requirements.
According to Delinea, the goal is to simplify and enhance the management and authentication process for all types of identity within an enterprise environment. This is achieved using comprehensive AI-driven security controls that integrate into cloud-native platforms, support a zero-trust attitude and enable increased operational efficiency.
Todd Thiemann, principal analyst at the Enterprise Strategy Group, commented on the importance of a new direction. He said, “Companies are entering a critical stage that is not just a technical challenge to protect AI, but a strategic imperative that enables core business. Delinea’s new machine identity and AI capabilities address the underestimated risks created by the accelerated growth of non-human identity.
With the prevalence of AI adoption in the business sector, Delinea addresses the complexity it brings, particularly in relation to identity sprawl and compliance requirements. By providing specific solutions for AI and machine identity governance, the company says that the organization is better positioned to protect infrastructure at scale while still being productive.
Vault AI aims to help organizations align with industry best practices by automating aspects of qualification management, such as password rotation in AI systems. Secure AI helps to implement and manage access controls for sensitive AI infrastructures by strictly restricting access according to assigned privileges. These controls are designed to reduce the impact of potential attack surfaces or system failures.
Future tools such as Discover AI are expected to provide IT teams with visibility into the use of fraudulent or shadow AI tools and help them see the range of machine IDs within their infrastructure. AI-driven approval aims to integrate just-in-time access management, ensuring that privileges are granted based on current needs and automatically revoked when they become unnecessary. Identity AI is once available and is expected to support organizations seeking to safely implement AI, particularly in sensitive industries, while adhering to strict data use and privacy regulations.
Delinea Chief Product Officer Phil Calvin has strengthened the business impact of enterprise security’s AI identity growth. He said, “AI has become an integral driver of business transformation and is spurring the population boom of mechanical identity restructuring the foundations of enterprise security. The power and flexibility of agent AI adds the enormous complexity that already challenges the approval of machines and machines. The result.
Delinea’s new and upcoming feature set is intended to help organizations meet the dual challenges of ensuring the use of AI technology and adopting AI itself to enhance overall identity security within their infrastructure.
