The AI surge has flooded enterprise networks with unmanaged machine identities.
Delinea’s latest platform enhancements streamline their discovery, governance, and control through a unified, cloud-native security approach. With its latest enhancements to the Machine and AI solution, Delinea is addressing this identity sprawl with a security-first approach that integrates governance, discovery, and access control into a single, cloud-native platform.
Centralized Security for AI Credentials and Infrastructure
Delinea’s approach to AI security goes beyond data protection—it focuses on managing the complex interactions between machines, models, and systems. New capabilities like
Vault AI and
Secure AI help enterprises take a centralized, policy-driven approach to managing AI credentials and entitlements. Vault AI automates access provisioning and password rotation for AI systems, aligning with enterprise-grade standards. Secure AI, meanwhile, applies fine-grained, least-privilege access to AI infrastructure, reducing the potential blast radius of a misconfiguration or breach and ensuring every machine identity is right-sized and auditable.
Shadow AI and Unmanaged Risk
But as AI adoption becomes more decentralized—across business units, teams, and cloud environments—visibility becomes just as critical as control. Delinea’s upcoming Discover AI capability, slated for preview in Q2 2025, aims to close that visibility gap. It enables IT and security teams to identify unauthorized or unmanaged AI deployments, including shadow AI and excess machine identities, giving them the insights needed to establish a usage baseline and intervene before risks materialize. This proactive stance is reinforced by AI-Driven Authorization (targeted for H2 2025), which uses agentic AI to make dynamic, context-aware access decisions across both human and machine users.
Compliance at the Core
Looking further ahead, the planned Identity AI feature reflects a growing enterprise demand for secure, compliant AI integrations. Rather than relying on third-party models that may introduce risk or data residency concerns, Identity AI will leverage a purpose-built, native LLM specifically designed for privileged identity tasks. This model will enable regulated organizations to integrate AI into their identity workflows without sacrificing control over sensitive data.
Taken together, these capabilities reflect a deliberate shift in how AI is being integrated and secured within enterprise environments. Rather than bolting on AI security after the fact, Delinea is embedding governance into the foundation of AI adoption. By giving organizations the tools to both secure AI and
use AI to improve identity security, Delinea is helping enterprises scale responsibly—balancing innovation with the operational and compliance demands of modern IT landscapes.
