Sydney, Australia – Delinea, a human and machine identities solutions firm, has recently announced that it has launched new features aimed at strengthening machine and AI solutions within its cloud-native identity security platform.
According to the firm, these enhancements are designed to help enterprises discover, manage, and secure AI agents, systems, and infrastructure easily. Said solutions also encompass supercharging network defences using holistic, AI-driven security controls.
Moreover, these capabilities will also assist organisations in simplifying the complexities of human and machine identity management through built-in guardrails to secure AI and secure with AI without compromising compliance or sacrificing productivity.
Delinea Labs’ researchers also estimate there are now 46 machine identities for every human identity in an enterprise network, underscoring the growing problem of machine identity sprawl.
Todd Thiemann, principal analyst at the Enterprise Strategy Group, said, “Enterprises are entering an important phase where securing AI isn’t just a technical challenge – it’s a strategic imperative that enables the core business.”
“Delinea’s new machine identity and AI capabilities address the underappreciated risks created by the accelerating growth of non-human identities. Delinea is delivering a smart approach to AI that can discover and secure AI infrastructure as well as apply AI to improve its own technologies,” added Thiemann.
In addition, the firm also explained that these updates will help organisations identify, govern, and secure human and machine identities across complex cloud environments. This enables resilient and seamless identity security at scale.
More specifically, the Vault AI offers clarity and control over how AI is accessed and used with the power of an enterprise-grade vault. Automate and simplify AI credential access, management, and password rotation aligned with industry best practices.
Secure AI, on the other hand, helps enforce and manage access controls on sensitive AI systems and infrastructure, applying least privilege to limit the blast radius of potential attacks or malfunctions.
Another significant feature is the Discover AI, targeted for preview in Q2 2025. This solution aims to allow IT administrators to identify and secure the unsanctioned use of AI, including shadow AI tools and machine identity sprawl. Establish a baseline of AI use across multi-cloud and hybrid environments and prevent unapproved AI services from introducing unmanaged risk.
Next is an AI-driven authorisation, set for preview in H2 2025. This feature will empower enterprises with agentic AI to enforce least privilege across all human and machine identities with the speed and accuracy needed to promote confidence, using a just-in-time access model.
Lastly, Delinea also unveiled Identity AI, designed to deliver a purpose-built, native large language model (LLM) for privileged accounts, eliminating the transient state of data and reducing the inherent risk of using third-party LLMs.
With this feature, heavily regulated organisations can now take advantage of AI within their own environments while adhering to strict compliance requirements.
Speaking about this initiative, Phil Calvin, chief product officer at Delinea, also remarked, “AI has become an integral driver of business transformation, and it’s fuelling a population boom of machine identities that are reshaping the foundation of enterprise security.”
He further noted, “The power and flexibility of agentic AI adds immense complexity to already challenging machine-to-machine authorisation. The Delinea Platform simplifies the management and authorisation of both human and machine identities, making it easier for organisations to leverage AI responsibly and safely so they can keep innovating and driving business outcomes. Other identity security platforms aren’t built for AI like ours.”
