Delinea Partners with Microsoft for Transition Support as Entra Permissions Management Retires

Collaboration enables customers to easily switch to Delinea’s advanced Cloud Infrastructure Entitlement Management (CIEM) solution, safeguarding human and machine identities in public, multicloud environments

Delinea has announced a partnership with Microsoft to provide support for customers transitioning from Microsoft Entra Permissions Management, which is set to retire on October 1, 2025. This collaboration will enable access to Delinea’s Privilege Control for Cloud Entitlements (PCCE) solution, allowing enterprises to discover and secure all human and machine identities across major public cloud infrastructures including Azure, AWS, and GCP.

The partnership builds on a long-standing relationship focused on delivering security solutions that empower enterprises to manage identities across multicloud environments. Through this collaboration, Delinea and Microsoft aim to ensure a smooth transition for existing customers, with dedicated teams in place to assist businesses in maximizing the capabilities of PCCE.

Adversarial Robustness Test (ART) Gilliland, CEO of Delinea, noted, “The introduction of AI has led to an explosion of human and machine identities at a time when public cloud environments are growing increasingly complex. Microsoft and Delinea share a deep, trusted relationship focused on protecting customers and securing their identities.” This partnership emphasizes their commitment to support customers through the transition while reinforcing the trust Microsoft has in Delinea to enhance identity security.

Delinea’s PCCE solution enables proactive control over multicloud environments, reducing risks associated with overprivileged identities through continuous discovery and enforcement of least privilege. It provides IT administrators with greater visibility and context into cloud and identity usage.

Joseph Dadzie, VP of Product Management at Microsoft, stated, “As we are planning for the retirement of Microsoft Entra Permissions Management, Microsoft is committed to supporting every customer with a seamless transition that minimizes disruption. Delinea’s PCCE solution offers a scalable, innovative approach to identity security for public, multi-cloud environments.”
