Delinea announced new features for its Privilege Manager and
DevOps Secrets Vault products. Updates to both products make it more seamless
to implement the controls frequently required to secure or renew cyber
insurance policies.
Enhancements to
Privilege Manager, Delinea's solution for managing privileged access on
workstations, focus on policies for Windows Store applications and updates
for MacOS Ventura. The latest version of
DevOps Secrets Vault, Delinea's high-speed vault for DevOps and DevSecOps
teams, makes it easier for developers to install the Command Line
Interface (CLI) in their favorite coding console while also providing their own
encryption keys.
According to a
recent Delinea survey,
almost 80% of respondents indicate that they have already used their cyber
insurance policies, and only 40% met PAM requirements when they applied for
their policies. Credentials hard-coded in applications are a vulnerability that
can be exploited, potentially leading to claims that may not be supported when
less than 50% of survey respondents' policies cover data recovery. Furthermore,
the survey revealed that ransomware attacks often start on workstations, and over
70% of policies will not cover ransomware payments.
Stronger privilege
controls on Windows and Macs
The latest version
of Privilege Manager allows administrators to build policies for applications
installed from the Windows Store and other Universal Windows Platform
applications, defining which applications are not allowed to run. Enhancements
to the native MacOS agent ensure that users on MacOS
Ventura have consistent application controls. Both updates make
installing ransomware on Windows and Mac workstations more difficult, including
those running the latest operating systems from Microsoft and Apple. Other
updates include enhancements to the UI that highlight the number of
workstations impacted by policy changes and management of certificate credentials.
Streamlined credential
management in the most popular coding consoles
New CLI installers
for DevOps Secrets Vault allow developers to run a native command in their
environment to install and begin dynamically injecting credentials into their
applications. CLI installers are supported for several of the most popular
coding consoles - HomeBrew, PowerShell, Aqua, Curl, Snap, and Scoop.
Enhancements to the Command Line Interface allow developers to configure and
use their own encryption keys to provide even stronger security. Additional
enhancements include new flags to the rest API and CLI for more easily
searching objects, and an improved "break glass" security function.
"Our customers
increasingly approach us with more stringent cyber insurance requirements,
often necessitating more modern Privileged Access Management controls,"
said Phil Calvin, Chief Product Officer at
Delinea. "We continuously focus on making it less complicated to implement
privileged access policies, and these two product releases make PAM more
seamless for both workstations and coded credentials."
