Delinea expands identity security platform through StrongDM acquisition

Key Points:

• Delinea has acquired StrongDM to enhance its identity security platform, focusing on privileged access management (PAM) and just-in-time (JIT) runtime authorization.
• The integration aims to reduce the attack surface by minimizing persistent credentials, thereby mitigating risks associated with credential theft, phishing, and software supply chain attacks across cloud-native and hybrid environments.
• Organizations are encouraged to adopt a zero standing privilege (ZSP) model while maintaining existing PAM investments, ensuring secure access for both human and non-human identities.

Technical Details: The acquisition emphasizes the need for real-time privileged access governance in increasingly complex environments where non-human identities outnumber human users. The combined platform will facilitate continuous policy enforcement and audit capabilities.
