Delinea Unveils Delinea Iris AI To Simplify Identity Security
As organizations face mounting pressure to secure every human and machine identity across increasingly complex hybrid environments, traditional tools are failing to keep pace with today's sophisticated threats and compliance demands. Delinea Iris AI addresses these challenges by putting IT and security teams firmly in control, enabling them to create a resilient identity security architecture that: authorizes access in real time based on user risk;
identifies anomalies with actionable insights;
delivers evidence-based risk remediation in real time;
adjusts access dynamically as context changes; and
provides audit trails for seamless proof of compliance.
'In today's fast-paced, hybrid cloud environments, teams are constantly spinning up new apps, tools and services, often without security oversight,' said Jackie McGuire, security practice lead and principal analyst 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. It redefines the role of the security team from being seen as 'The Department of No' to becoming a true enabler that proactively helps teams avoid mistakes before they happen.'
Delivering a clear line of sight across all identities and every interaction, Delinea Iris AI is powering new capabilities that are now generally available or entering public preview for customers, including: Authorization powered by Delinea Iris AI builds context in real-time by evaluating user behavior, business justification, device, location, and policy alignment to intelligently triage risk for every access request without slowing productivity. Dynamically adjust access as user context changes, offering clear, evidence-based reasoning and a complete audit trail. Auditing powered by Delinea Iris AI analyzes recorded sessions, detecting elevated privileges, failed authorizations, deletions, file transfers, unusual Secrets usage, and more. It highlights elevated commands and risky behaviors in seconds, delivering an evidence-based summary and heatmap of suspicious activity within each session. This provides instant, actionable insights to quickly identify threats, investigate issues, and stop bad actors before the damage is done.
'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,' said Phil Calvin, Chief Product Officer at Delinea. 'Delinea Iris AI was purpose-built to change that. We're raising the standard for identity security with an AI engine that IT and security teams have been asking for – one that's practical, intuitive, and trustworthy. This launch reinforces Delinea's mission to provide a smarter, faster, more efficient way to adapt to changing identity risks while preparing for what's next.'

UAE: Zero trust, AI, and identity top agenda at FutureSec Summit 2025
The countdown is on for one of the most anticipated cybersecurity events in the region: FutureSec Summit 2025, taking place in Dubai on June 25. Hosted by Khaleej Times, the summit will convene top minds from cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, and digital infrastructure under the theme 'Innovation, Resilience and Ethical Vigilance'. As the UAE and wider Middle East face a rapidly evolving threat landscape, FutureSec 2025 is set to explore cutting-edge solutions aimed at fortifying cyber defenses. At the heart of the conversation is 'identity'. In an age where cloud computing, remote work, and AI are accelerating digital transformation, identity is increasingly recognised as the most vulnerable entry point for cyberattacks. 'Cyber attackers are shifting focus, and identity is now their fastest path in. At FutureSec, we're engaging with leaders across industries to explore how securing privileged identities helps organisations not just adopt but truly operationalise Zero Trust,' said Laura Garcia, Marketing Director EMEA at Delinea. The emphasis on identity-centric security underscores a broader shift in how organisations are approaching Zero Trust architecture, not just as a concept, but as a practical framework for cyber resilience. Adding to the discussion, Aaron Hambleton, Senior Vice President, Middle East & Africa at SecurityHQ, said: 'As a leading global MSSP, SecurityHQ's presence at FutureSec reinforces our commitment to cybersecurity excellence across the region. By sharing intelligence-led detection and response expertise, we aim to empower regional enterprises to anticipate, manage, and mitigate advanced threats, while continuing to drive innovation in managed security services.' The summit will feature a rich mix of high-level strategy sessions, hands-on cyber labs, real-time threat simulations, and exclusive Capture the Flag (CTF) challenges. Designed to be immersive and forward-thinking, the event will offer both practical insights and strategic foresight for CISOs, technology leaders, and government officials navigating today's complex cyber environment. In a regional first, FutureSec 2025 will also unveil the UAE's Most Influential Cybersecurity Leaders — an editorial-led list of the visionaries, practitioners, and advocates making meaningful contributions to the field. The awards will celebrate leadership, innovation, community impact, and thought leadership across the UAE. With identity at its core, FutureSec Summit 2025 is more than a gathering; it's a rallying call for cybersecurity leadership. From Zero Trust and AI governance to resilience and ethical vigilance, the summit is designed to equip attendees with the tools and insights to secure the digital future.
