Delinea and StrongDM Unite to Redefine Security in the AI Era
Delinea, a pioneer in centralized authorization security solutions, and StrongDM, a universal access management company, plan to merge in a bid to tackle a fast-growing identity security challenge: managing access for AI agents and other non-human identities in increasingly automated enterprise environments. The deal will combine Delinea’s privileged access management strengths with StrongDM’s just-in-time, policy-driven access model across infrastructure, databases and applications.
The companies' aim for the merger is to respond to a new era of identity sprawl, where traditional access tools fall short. With AI agents now making decisions and taking actions autonomously, security teams need consistent oversight across both human and machine users. Together, the companies plan to redefine identity security for enterprises, with no adverse effects on the productivity of operations and workflow strategies. The acquisition is pending regulatory approval and is set to close in Q1 of 2026.
