NCC Group and Delinea forge cybersecurity alliance to enhance identity security

NCC Group has announced a partnership with Delinea, leveraging the latter's expertise in privileged access management (PAM) to enhance their cyber resilience offerings. This collaboration aims to strengthen the defences of organisations against cyber-attacks and insider threats.

As the world increasingly adopts artificial intelligence and stringent compliance protocols, the need for robust identity security continues to grow. Delinea’s platform enables organisations to identify all user identities, assign access levels, and respond to threats in real-time, forming a component of Zero Trust Architecture.

The partnership delivers a PAM service as part of NCC Group’s Unified Digital Identity Framework, designed to provide:

• Advanced Capabilities: A holistic platform for both hybrid and modern environments featuring secure credential vaulting and privileged session management.
• Swift, Scalable Deployment: With a user-friendly interface, the cloud-native architecture ensures rapid setup and integration.
• Cost Efficiency: Utilising automation and adaptable licensing models, it aids in reducing operational costs whilst ensuring high-level security.
• Accessibility: Making advanced identity security accessible for businesses of varying sizes, providing an entry point through enterprise-class PAM.

PAM aims to serve as a protective measure by centrally managing credentials and controlling access, thus safeguarding against common threats like credential theft. NCC Group seeks to provide insights into attack methodologies and cyber threats.

By merging Delinea’s PAM technology with NCC Group’s expertise, the strategy delivers a service aimed at securing crucial systems. This unified framework seeks to help organisations effectively manage PAM, support compliance requirements, enhance user experience, and adhere to Zero Trust design principles.

Chris Kelly, President at Delinea, highlighted, "As AI-driven identity-based threats and attacks continue to evolve, businesses are seeking partners that can help them stay ahead, protect their critical assets, and realise the value of their cybersecurity investments more efficiently."

As the cybersecurity landscape continues to shift, the collaboration between NCC Group and Delinea aims to support enterprises in navigating new and complex cyber challenges.
