Delinea, a provider of privileged access management (PAM) solutions, purchased Authomize, a company that develops technology to detect and eliminate identity-based threats across the cloud.
The plan is to marry Delinea’s SaaS solutions for PAM with Authomize’s continuous discovery and visibility capabilities in order to extend Delinea’s Platform reach for comprehensive, privileged controls in the cloud. At the same time, this integration should expand its ability to protect against identity-based attacks such as account takeovers, insider threats and lateral movement.
Specifically, CIEM and ITDR capabilities will be delivered through the cloud-native Delinea Platform to extend PAM across the modern enterprise. The acquisition will also see the creation of a Delinea R&D center in Israel.
“The combination of Delinea and Authomize gives customers the power to detect and mitigate active identity threats across SaaS applications, cloud and hybrid infrastructure,” said Delinea CEO, Art Gilliland. “The extension of human and non-human identities beyond the traditional firewall requires continuous visibility into all SaaS applications, their connections to each other and across hybrid environments. I’m very excited to bring the Authomize team into Delinea, which greatly extends the reach and expands the role of the Delinea Platform to help organizations of all sizes reduce identity-related risk.”
Authomize CIEM empowers enterprises to extend least privilege controls into cloud-based environments by continuously monitoring access privilege, usage change and connections between cloud services, SaaS applications and IAM solutions. Adding Authomize ITDR will increase protection against threats across all identities by detecting abuse and responding to attacks.
On the Delinea Platform, the enhanced capabilities will identify and address issues such as stale accounts, over-privileged identities and privilege escalation paths, bolstering cloud security by proactively detecting risk, mitigating threats and maintaining operational continuity. This approach helps to safeguard assets and data while reducing risk with minimal complexity.
“This marks an exciting milestone in our mission to greatly enhance identification and mitigation of identity-based risks,” said Phil Calvin, Chief Product Officer for Delinea. “Our joint technologies will harness continuous monitoring and deliver adaptive and broad privilege controls, all within a consolidated cloud-native platform, ensuring awareness and response to protect identities and data.”
Integrating ITDR and CIEM capabilities will extend the Delinea Platform’s ability to address modern PAM requirements and emerging use cases, including:
- Increasing visibility of privilege across multi-cloud environments with the continuous discovery of all privileged access.
- Monitoring and protecting identities to detect threats and automatically mitigate risks in any application or service.
- Streamlining and accelerating security and compliance audits with automated User Access Reviews (UAR) and out-of-the-box policies.
“Joining Delinea is a thrilling continuation of our journey of innovation and Authomize’s commitment to detect and eliminate identity-based risks across the cloud,” said Authomize CEO, Dotan Bar Noy. “We’re looking forward to establishing the Israeli R&D center to expand Delinea’s presence in the region.”
“Together, we will greatly expand and enhance privilege security across the enterprise, addressing the rising identity threats across the industry,” added Authomize CTO, Gal Diskin.
