Summary
Delinea, the identity security platform that continuously controls what AI agents, humans, and machines can do and for how long, has been named a Leader in the 2026 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Privileged Access Management for the eighth consecutive time. The company believes the recognition reflects sustained investment in runtime authorization and its work to secure a rapidly expanding population of identities across the enterprise.
The company says reliability is foundational to how enterprises adopt AI safely and at scale. It commits to a 99.995% monthly availability SLA on the Delinea Platform across its global regions, which it describes as a dependable foundation for enforcing access controls at scale.
Over the past year, the company introduced just-in-time runtime authorization for AI agents, applying the same granular, time-bound access decisions used for human and machine identities to autonomous agents operating inside enterprise environments. These capabilities are used to secure millions of AI agent sessions weekly across customer environments.
The company also now offers enhanced cloud-native JIT capabilities and protocol-level ephemeral credential injection for servers, databases, and Kubernetes, which removes standing access and reduces the attack surface that privileged credentials traditionally create. In its description, authorization is becoming dynamic rather than static, with access granted when needed and revoked when it is not.
“As AI powered attacks increase and companies push to adopt AI to drive productivity, identity security has become the most powerful control,” said Art Gilliland, CEO of Delinea.
The company says it continues to push privileged access management toward real-time, context-aware control while enabling the business.
