Delinea Iris AI tackles the growing complexity of identity security in hybrid cloud environments, where traditional tools struggle against sophisticated threats. With 97% of organizations experiencing AI-related security incidents, Iris AI empowers IT and security teams with real-time, context-aware solutions. “In today’s fast-paced, hybrid cloud environments, teams are constantly spinning up new apps, tools and services, often without security oversight,” said Jackie McGuire, security practice lead and principal analyst at theCUBE Research. “With Delinea Iris AI, there’s real value in transforming shadow IT into a security onboarding pipeline.”
The AI-powered authorization feature evaluates user behavior, business justification, device, location, and policy alignment to make evidence-based access decisions in real time. It dynamically adjusts access as user context changes, ensuring minimal productivity impact while maintaining robust security. This capability, combined with a complete audit trail, supports compliance and reduces the risk of unauthorized access, which is critical as identity-based attacks account for over 80% of data breaches.
Delinea Iris AI’s auditing capabilities analyze recorded sessions, detecting elevated privileges, failed authorizations, file transfers, and unusual Secrets usage. It generates evidence-based summaries and heatmaps of suspicious activity within seconds, enabling rapid threat identification and response. “The recent rapid expansion of the identity attack surface is unlike anything we’ve ever seen,” said Phil Calvin, Chief Product Officer at Delinea. “Delinea Iris AI was purpose-built to change that. We’re raising the standard for identity security with an AI engine that IT and security teams have been asking for – one that’s practical, intuitive, and trustworthy.”
Built natively into the cloud-native Delinea Platform, Iris AI requires 90% fewer resources to manage than competitors and offers a 99.995% uptime. Its rapid deployment, achievable in weeks, ensures organizations can quickly strengthen their security posture. By providing visibility across all identities—workforce, IT admins, developers, and machines—Iris AI eliminates blind spots and enhances operational efficiency, redefining security teams as enablers rather than obstacles.
Delinea Iris AI’s launch at Black Hat USA 2025 marks a significant advancement in identity security. By integrating AI-driven authorization, auditing, and adaptive controls, Delinea empowers organizations to stay ahead of evolving threats while simplifying compliance and boosting productivity.
