Sydney, Australia – Delinea, a human and machine identities solutions firm, has recently announced its collaboration with Microsoft to support Microsoft Entra Permissions Management customers. The strategic move is designed to ensure customers have continued access to advanced Cloud Infrastructure Entitlement Management (CIEM) capabilities.
With Microsoft planning to retire Entra Permissions Management on October 1, 2025, Delinea’s Privilege Control for Cloud Entitlements (PCCE) also stands as a solution to help enterprises continuously identify and secure human and machine identities across multi-cloud environments, including Microsoft Azure, AWS, and GCP.
The long-standing collaboration is driven by a shared commitment to enhance enterprise security through seamless identity and access management across multi-cloud ecosystems. Said move ensures a smooth transition for Microsoft Entra Permissions Management customers, equipping them with dedicated support teams to help unlock the full potential of PCCE.
“The introduction of AI has led to an explosion of human and machine identities at a time when public cloud environments are growing increasingly complex,” said Art Gilliland, CEO at Delinea.
“Microsoft and Delinea share a deep, trusted relationship focused on protecting customers and securing their identities. As Microsoft’s partner for cloud entitlement security, together we are ensuring a seamless transition and continued access to cutting-edge identity security, reinforcing the trust Microsoft has placed in Delinea to support its customers,” added Gilliland.
Joseph Dadzie, VP Product Management at Microsoft, also commented, “As we are planning for the retirement of Microsoft Entra Permissions Management, Microsoft is committed to supporting every customer with a seamless transition that minimises disruption.”
As per the firm, the company’s PCCE solution allows enterprises to proactively gain control of multi-cloud environments, allowing them to easily identify anomalous behaviour and refactor privileges.
It also reduces the risk of overprivileged and misconfigured identities through continuous discovery, AI-enabled analytics, and enforcing least privilege. This enhances IT administrators’ visibility and provides in-depth insights into cloud and identity usage, enabling them to identify excessive privileges and enforce stricter authorisation controls.
This provides IT administrators greater visibility and deep context into cloud and identity usage to discover excess privilege and limit authorisation.
“Delinea’s PCCE solution offers a scalable, innovative approach to identity security for public, multi-cloud environments and represents an effective successor for customers of Microsoft Entra Permissions Management,” Dadzie concluded.
