PRESS RELEASE
SAN FRANCISCO, March 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Outlinesleading provider of solutions that seamlessly extend Privileged Access Management (PAM), today announced the introduction of Privilege control for servers on the Delinea platform, applying the principles of least privilege on critical systems in a consistent manner across identities to combat credential theft and limit lateral movement. The Delinea platform combines enterprise vaulting, VPN-free privileged remote access, and privilege controls to apply just-in-time and just-enough privileges to provide a more secure, resilient, and scalable SaaS solution that expands with an organization’s needs. Outlines is changing the way organizations enforce privileges as a new security perimeter to reduce risk, more easily meet compliance, and improve productivity on a single, unified, cloud-native platform.
According to Verizon Research 2023Stolen credentials were involved in nearly half (49%) of breaches last year A report by Sophos indicates that the average ransomware payout increased dramatically from $812,380 in 2022 to $1,542,333 in 2023, highlighting the growing financial stakes for victims. Organizations need a layered security approach to limit privileges so that if credentials or identities are compromised, they can limit the impact of ransomware and other threats.
Prevent lateral movements to contain cyber incidents
As part of Outline platform, which provides simple and simple to implement PAM, Privilege Control for Servers centrally elevates privileges on Active Directory identities as needed to limit persistent privileges, enforcing least privilege best practices. Customers can limit the proliferation of shared credentials and manage privileged access to Windows, Linux and Unix servers in hybrid cloud environments, which are enforced on the machine, limiting lateral movement. Customers can apply Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) to vault access, credential access, server access, and elevation of privilege using MFA in depth, providing identity assurance to mitigate risk of compromised credentials or identities and meet growing regulations and cyber insurance requirements.
For remote workers and vendors, agentless, VPN-free privileged remote access provides a secure means to access critical resources and data, whether using stored credentials or an Active Directory identity, without ever seeing or entering a credential. Privileged activities are continuously authorized based on policy, and remote sessions are recorded and audited.
In Server Privilege Control, session recording and control occurs on the host, so data cannot be modified. As a shared feature, session and audit data are unified and saved in the Delinea platform, simplifying storage and access while leveraging Delinea’s innovative AI-powered auditing (now in public preview) to Dramatically reduce the time it takes to identify potentially dangerous activity without manually reviewing hours of session recording.
“Threats like ransomware continue to evolve, and organizations must dramatically reduce the risk of credential theft and lateral movement. As identities and environments become more complex, privilege is the new security perimeter,” said Phil Calvin , Chief Product Officer of Delinea. “The introduction of Privilege Control for Servers adds even more robust authorization to the Delinea platform, the first cloud-native unified PAM platform that is more secure, resilient and scalable than other solutions.”
Enforce privileges as a new perimeter with the first cloud-native unified PAM platform
Privilege is the new security perimeter for modern businesses. Privilege control for servers provides deeper and more robust privilege protection as part of the Delinea platform. Customers can layer security defenses on privileged activity with Secret Server for shared credentials, privileged remote access, and privilege controls to more effectively prevent credential theft and access to critical data and infrastructure. Built using modern cloud architecture, the Delinea platform is more resilient, with multiple levels of redundancy that automatically ensure the availability of all features with 99.99% contractual uptime and zero-time updates to ensure that privileged access is always available. Shared capabilities such as continuous discovery, policies, in-depth MFA, auditing, session recording, integrations, and AI-based analytics simplify administration. Delinea can quickly and consistently provide our customers with updates, enhancements and innovations to meet their needs and respond to evolving threats securely and reliably using modern DevOps practices.
Privilege control for servers sets the direction for applying just-in-time and just-enough privileges across the Delinea platform. As solutions are added to the platform, they will adopt this naming convention (Privilege Control for [Use Case]) to help customers easily identify the solutions needed to meet their unique privileged access management and identity security requirements.
