NCC Group has forged a collaboration with Delinea to enhance identity security with a focus on safeguarding both human and machine identities through centralized authorization solutions.
This venture will provide cloud-native identity security to bolster defenses against cyber threats. By harnessing Delinea's privileged access management (PAM) abilities, the partnership aims to protect vital systems from external and internal cyber risks.
Strengthening Identity Security
With continuous advancements in artificial intelligence and a growing need for compliant PAM services, stringent identity security measures are essential to shield important accounts.
Delinea's platform is instrumental in identifying identities, controlling access levels, and providing real-time responses, thereby supporting a Zero Trust Architecture approach.
PAM in Hybrid Environments
The alliance between NCC Group and Delinea introduces a refined PAM service
The alliance between NCC Group and Delinea introduces a refined PAM service within NCC Group's Unified Digital Identity Framework. This framework offers several features tailored to modern hybrid environments, such as secure credential storage, privileged session management, and on-demand access controls, which are crucial for reducing risks and implementing Zero Standing Privilege.
The solution's cloud-native design and user-friendly interface ensure swift deployment and seamless integration, allowing NCC Group's clients to quickly realize its value. Additionally, automated processes and adaptable licensing strategies aim to diminish operational expenses without compromising on security standards. The service is presented as an affordable PAM option, making robust identity security accessible to organizations of any size.
Comprehensive Access Management
PAM enforces security protocols by centrally managing credentials, regulating access, and overseeing privileged interactions.
This management is vital for defending against common cyber-attack methods, particularly credential theft followed by unauthorized access to critical systems. NCC Group's experience in cyber defense equips them to provide profound insights into attack strategies, solidifying PAM as an essential aspect of any identity and access management plan.
