Delinea, a leading provider of centralized authorization solutions that secure both human and machine identities, has announced the expansion of its Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) agreement with IBM. Through this enhanced collaboration, IBM customers will now have access to the complete Delinea Platform, delivering advanced Privileged Identity and Access Management (PIAM) capabilities.

The renewed agreement builds on a strategic partnership that first began in 2018. The Delinea Platform provides a comprehensive, cloud-native ecosystem for identity security, empowering enterprises to apply intelligent authorization and contextual controls across all identities within their environments.

FAQs

1. What does the expanded OEM agreement between Delinea and IBM mean for enterprise customers?

The expanded OEM agreement allows IBM customers to access the full Delinea Platform, which delivers a cloud-native identity security ecosystem. This enables enterprises to secure human and machine identities, apply intelligent authorization, and gain unified visibility across hybrid and multi-cloud environments. Essentially, IBM clients can now leverage Delinea’s advanced privileged access management (PAM) capabilities directly through IBM’s offerings.

2. How does the Delinea Platform enhance IBM’s existing identity security portfolio?

By integrating Delinea’s intelligent authorization and centralized control mechanisms, IBM strengthens its IBM Verify and identity governance solutions. This collaboration delivers a unified view of privileged activities, helping organizations mitigate insider and external threats, track compliance efficiently, and automate privileged access controls across cloud and on-premises infrastructures.

3. Why is privileged identity management critical in today’s cybersecurity landscape?

Privileged accounts are a primary target for cybercriminals, as they grant access to critical systems and sensitive data. Effective Privileged Identity and Access Management (PIAM) minimizes this risk by enforcing least privilege, monitoring privileged sessions, and detecting anomalies in real time. With cyberattacks becoming more identity-centric, robust PAM solutions like Delinea’s are essential for reducing attack surfaces and preventing breaches.

4. What makes Delinea’s identity security platform stand out from competitors?

Delinea’s platform is AI-powered, cloud-native, and unified, capable of discovering all identities—human and machine—across an enterprise. It offers rapid deployment (in weeks), minimal resource requirements (90% fewer than competitors), and industry-leading reliability (99.995% uptime). This combination of scalability, automation, and operational simplicity gives organizations faster time-to-value and superior resilience against identity threats.

5. How will this partnership shape the future of identity security and access management?

The collaboration sets a new benchmark in enterprise identity security, combining IBM’s extensive reach and integration capabilities with Delinea’s innovation in privileged identity management. Together, they aim to simplify complex identity ecosystems, enhance zero-trust implementations, and accelerate the adoption of AI-driven identity security frameworks—enabling organizations to operate securely and confidently in an increasingly digital and hybrid world.
