Delinea, renowned for securing human and machine identities, has introduced Delinea Iris AI, an AI-driven engine fully integrated into the Delinea Platform. This innovation is set to enhance the platform's capabilities, offering real-time access decisions, intelligent auditing, and adaptive controls, ultimately bolstering organisational productivity, fortifying identity security, and cutting through complexity.

In an era where organisations juggle numerous identities within ever-evolving hybrid environments, there is growing pressure to protect every link. Traditional tools struggle to keep up with escalating threats and compliance requirements. To counter these challenges, Delinea Iris AI empowers IT and security teams, allowing them to establish a resilient identity security framework. This technology:

• Authorises access instantly based on user risk assessments;
• Pinpoints anomalies with actionable insights;
• Offers real-time, evidence-backed risk remediation;
• Adapts access dynamically in response to context shifts;
• Provides seamless audit trails to ensure compliance.

“In today’s fast-paced, hybrid cloud environments, teams are constantly spinning up new apps, tools and services, often without security oversight,” observed Jackie McGuire, security practice lead at theCUBE Research. “With Delinea Iris AI, there’s real value in transforming shadow IT into a security onboarding pipeline, giving teams visibility and control across every identity, no matter where it lives or how it’s managed."

With Iris AI, Delinea is introducing groundbreaking features available in public previews, extending capabilities such as:

• Real-time authorisation that contextually evaluates user behaviour, device, location, and more, allowing dynamic access adjustments and iterating evidence-based audit trails.
• Auditing that identifies privileged actions, failed authorisation attempts, and unusual activity. This provides rapid insights and creates a detailed heatmap of suspicious behaviour, enabling swift threat identification.

"The recent rapid expansion of the identity attack surface is unlike anything we’ve ever seen, making security near impossible as it continues to evolve significantly," commented Phil Calvin, Delinea's Chief Product Officer. Delinea Iris AI responds to this by setting a new benchmark in identity protection, aligning with IT and security team demands for an intuitive yet reliable AI solution. This release underscores Delinea's commitment to smarter strategies and rapid adaptability in addressing evolving identity risks.
