Delinea joins Microsoft Security Store to boost identity safety

Delinea has joined the Microsoft Security Store Partner Ecosystem, expanding its collaboration with Microsoft in delivering identity security solutions.

The move marks an extension of the long-standing partnership between Delinea and Microsoft, which has spanned 15 years. Delinea specialises in securing both human and machine identities through centralised authorisation, and its new role within the Microsoft Security Store Partner Ecosystem enables organisations to access its certified security solutions directly through Microsoft's procurement platform.

Expanded collaboration

The selection of Delinea for the programme reflects what both organisations describe as a proactive relationship, characterising Delinea's experience with Microsoft Security technologies and willingness to participate in feedback and development on new features as contributing factors.

"We're proud to extend our 15-year collaboration with Microsoft by joining the Microsoft Security Store Partner Ecosystem," said Art Gilliland, CEO of Delinea. "Building on our work to transition Microsoft Entra Permissions Management customers, this step reflects our shared commitment to innovation and accessibility, helping organisations strengthen defenses faster and with greater confidence."

Delinea is working with Microsoft to help shape the ongoing development of the Security Store, offering input on integration, new features, and customer requirements. According to the company, this collaborative process will ensure that published solutions, including AI agents integrated with Microsoft Security products, can be discovered, purchased, and deployed directly by customer organisations within the Microsoft ecosystem.

The inclusion of Delinea's technologies within the Security Store aims to help customers streamline procurement, accelerate the deployment of certified solutions, and improve their security posture across both human and machine identities. The solutions offered have been vetted for ease of deployment and interoperability with other Microsoft Security tools.

Focus on procurement and deployment

Microsoft states that its Security Store is designed to present a centralised channel for customers seeking security solutions, with the goal of simplifying purchase processes and reducing operational complexity. The Security Store offers a curated list of technologies and AI agents intended to integrate with Microsoft Security, providing organisations with a unified experience.

"The Microsoft Security Store is designed to simplify and strengthen how organisations approach cybersecurity, said Dorothy Li, Corporate Vice President, Security Copilot, Ecosystem and Marketplace at Microsoft. "By offering a curated selection of trusted solutions and AI agents, we help Security and IT teams quickly find, purchase, and deploy technologies that integrate seamlessly with Microsoft Security. With simplified billing, streamlined deployment, and verified integrations, the Security Store empowers defenders to accelerate their response, improve their security posture, and focus on what matters most."

The focus on centralising technology procurement and deployment through the Security Store aligns with broader industry moves to improve access and operational agility around cybersecurity tools. Microsoft highlights the inclusion of features such as alignment to industry security frameworks, simplified billing, and guided deployment as mechanisms to bolster adoption and reduce the resources required for deployment.

Through this partnership, Delinea's certified solutions become part of this centralised procurement and management offering, with the expectation that security teams can accelerate adoption while maximising the value of their investment in Microsoft Security technologies.

Strategic approach

Delinea's platform is designed to manage authorisation for both users and machines within enterprise environments, combining AI-driven intelligence with centralised governance. It supports configuration and monitoring across various types of digital infrastructure, including cloud services, traditional on-premise systems, data platforms, and SaaS applications.

By participating in Microsoft's programme, Delinea is offering its certified identity and access management solutions to organisations seeking to strengthen their protective measures and governance around privileged access. The company emphasises interoperability and compliance with Microsoft's integration standards, which is intended to facilitate a smoother adoption and deployment process for enterprise customers.

The announcement positions the partnership as one focused on reducing operational friction for Security and IT teams, by providing pre-vetted solutions and support for streamlined implementation. Both companies describe this as contributing to faster responses to evolving cybersecurity threats and a more efficient use of security resources within the organisations that deploy these solutions.
