IBM Verify Privilege vs. Delinea Cloud Suite

Granting privileged users access to critical systems, data, and functionalities is crucial; however, it is equally vital to meticulously assess, oversee, and review their elevated permissions to protect resources against possible cybersecurity risks and credential exploitation. Research shows that around 40% of insider cyber incidents are linked to these privileged users, highlighting the importance of maintaining vigilance. The IBM Verify Privilege solutions, in partnership with Delinea, support zero trust frameworks designed to mitigate organizational risks. These solutions aid in the discovery, control, management, and security of privileged accounts across diverse endpoints and hybrid multi-cloud settings. Furthermore, they have the capability to locate previously unrecognized accounts, automatically reset passwords, and detect irregular activities. By overseeing, securing, and auditing privileged accounts throughout their entire lifespan, organizations can effectively identify devices, servers, and other endpoints with administrative privileges, thereby enforcing least-privilege security, regulating application permissions, and alleviating the workload on support teams, which ultimately contributes to a robust security posture. This holistic strategy not only protects sensitive data but also strengthens the overall integrity of the system, creating a safer environment for all users involved. Additionally, the implementation of such measures fosters a proactive cybersecurity culture within the organization, ensuring that all personnel remain aware of the risks associated with privileged account management.

Enhance user access to servers through various directory services such as Active Directory, LDAP, and cloud platforms like Okta. By adhering to the principle of least privilege, it is essential to implement just-in-time access and allocate only the required permissions, thereby minimizing security vulnerabilities. It is crucial to identify privilege misuse, counteract potential threats, and ensure compliance with regulations through thorough audit trails and video documentation. Delinea’s cloud-native SaaS solution employs zero-trust principles, which effectively reduce the risk of privileged access misuse and address security weaknesses. With the ability to scale flexibly and perform efficiently, this solution adeptly handles multi-VPC, multi-cloud, and multi-directory environments. Users can log in securely across different platforms using a single enterprise identity, complemented by a dynamic privilege elevation model that operates just in time. Centralized management of security protocols for users, machines, and applications guarantees the consistent enforcement of MFA policies across all critical and regulated systems. Real-time monitoring of privileged sessions allows for immediate termination of any suspicious activities, thereby reinforcing overall security measures. Furthermore, this all-encompassing strategy not only strengthens your security posture but also fosters an environment of accountability and transparency within your organization, ultimately contributing to a more robust security framework.
