Delinea Secret Server

Overview

Delinea (formed in April 2021 through a merger of established PAM leaders Thycotic and Centrify) provides solutions to make security seamless for the modern, hybrid enterprise. Secret Server is their full-featured Privileged Access Management (PAM) solution that helps users to detect, control, change, and audit privileged accounts across any organization. This is an enterprise-grade PAM solution available both on-premises or in the cloud, offering a range of useful features as well as optional add-ons. This solution provides security and IT ops teams with the capabilities and agility needed to manage all types of privileges, protecting administrator, applications, service, and root accounts from cyber attackers to mitigate potential breaches.

Features

Protect Privileged Credentials

Secret Server does this by vaulting secure passwords, secrets, keys and certificates enterprise wide, providing proactive protection in the form of automated password creation, rotation and expiration, and supporting intelligent workflow through checkout, privileged access requests, justification requirements and tiered approvals.

Detect Suspicious Activity

The solution offers real-time session management, which includes monitoring, keystroke logging, session recording and proxying. It also integrates with SIEM and vulnerability scanners to fuller visibility for incident response, and also integrates with behavioral analysis, leveraging machine learning to pinpoint out of the ordinary user behavior.

Reduce Attack Surface

Discovery identifies unmanaged privileged accounts across the enterprise so they can be managed, meaning windows for attack are not needlessly left open. Rotation works to keep credential fresh without breaking dependencies, and DevOps workflow extends PAM protection to the development and operations teams for more comprehensive security.

Control Privileged Access

Secret Sever gives you highly granular policy control and applies that to all types of privileged identities. Custom script allows you to easily configure dependencies and integration on your own terms.

Ease Of Use

Delinea boast of their ‘Seamless Access’, which refers to how Secret Server was designed to have an intuitive user interface and controls that integrate seamlessly with the workflow systems peoples use daily to fulfil their roles. Reviewer’s support Delinea’s claim that their solution abandons needless complexity in favor of a seamless – not simple – approach, with users complimenting the modern, user-friendly interface that is easy for non IT people to use, as well as the ease and simplification of the deployment process and the easy customization.
