Delinea: the factory infographic
Identity security that governs what people, machines and AI agents do once they are in.
What the company does
In normal terms
Identity security platform that governs what humans, machines and AI agents do once they have access, extending privileged access management into continuous, just-in-time authorization across on-premises, multi-cloud and ephemeral infrastructure.
Delinea extends privileged access into continuous, just-in-time authorization, granting access only when needed, across cloud and on-premises systems.
In lay terms
Delinea hands out the master keys only for the minutes they are needed, then takes them back.
The risks it faces, especially from AI agents
In normal terms
- Just in time, but for what?. Just-in-time access still needs a definition of what the agent should be allowed to request.
- Agents ask faster than people. Agents request access at machine speed; approval processes built for people do not keep up.
- Evidence for others. Boards and insurers need the access policy explained in business terms, not only enforced.
In lay terms
- Just in time, but for what?. You can lend the key for ten minutes, but which doors should it open?
- Agents ask faster than people. A hundred key requests a minute, and one tired manager.
- Evidence for others. The keys are safe, but can you explain why to the insurer?

In normal terms
Delinea enforces access; RiskMandate states, per agent, what the access is for and shows Delinea's controls as the barrier. The identity-side twin of an Agent Behaviour Policy: a natural integration.
In lay terms
Delinea controls the keys; RiskMandate writes down why each assistant needs them.
A first line for the conversation: You enforce what agents may access. We write down why, in a record the board and insurer can read.

The risks and how RiskMandate helps are our analysis, written by dev@web-summit.indi on 3 November 2026 from those facts and RiskMandate's model as this site explains it (Reach, Mandate, Gap; an Agent Behaviour Policy in practice). They are not the company's own statements and name no incident. A person reviews each before it is used.
