Delinea has received the prestigious 2026 Global Technology Innovation Leadership Recognition from Frost & Sullivan for its pioneering advancements in non-human identity security. This award highlights the company’s commitment to innovative solutions, market leadership, and a customer-focused approach to securing non-human identities through AI-driven technology.
The recognition was announced on January 28, 2026, during a ceremony in SAN ANTONIO. Frost & Sullivan acknowledged Delinea’s exceptional performance in addressing the growing challenges in cybersecurity, particularly in the realm of non-human identities (NHIs). These identities, which include machine identities and automated systems, represent one of the fastest-growing attack surfaces in cybersecurity.
Frost & Sullivan conducted a rigorous evaluation process focusing on two main areas: business impact and technology leverage. Delinea excelled in both dimensions, showcasing its ability to align strategic initiatives with the evolving requirements of enterprise security. The company has demonstrated efficiency and consistency in executing its strategies while scaling its operations globally.
“Delinea ensures that machine identities follow the same rigorous governance and least-privilege enforcement as human users,” stated Dolores Alemán, Industry Analyst at Frost & Sullivan. The introduction of Delinea Iris AI marks a significant step forward, offering features for automated privilege recommendations, policy optimization, and threat detection. This innovation is part of Delinea’s broader strategy to enhance its product offerings and maintain its competitive edge.
As a leader in the identity security landscape, Delinea focuses on a long-term growth strategy that emphasizes cloud-native innovation and AI-driven automation. The company’s sustained investment in unified identity governance has allowed it to effectively expand its reach across North America, EMEA, and APAC, supporting complex hybrid and multi-cloud enterprise environments.
Innovation remains at the core of Delinea’s operations. The Delinea Platform provides a comprehensive solution for unified discovery, governance, and lifecycle management of privileged access, machine identities, secrets, and AI-driven entities. This modular, cloud-native platform includes advanced features such as just-in-time authorization, AI-powered analytics, and continuous threat detection, all designed to help organizations mitigate risks while simplifying their security operations.
“Non-human identities are one of the fastest-growing attack surfaces, and they demand a new approach to identity security,” said Art Gilliland, CEO of Delinea. “This recognition from Frost & Sullivan validates our focus on unified, AI-driven security. We’re proud to help our customers stay ahead of risk as their environments become more automated and dynamic.”
Delinea’s commitment to enhancing customer experience also contributes to its strong market position. The company prioritizes streamlined deployment, user-friendly self-service dashboards, and proactive support through dedicated success teams. This approach meets the needs of a rapidly growing customer base, particularly in highly regulated industries such as financial services, healthcare, and government.
Frost & Sullivan commends Delinea for setting a high standard in competitive strategy, execution, and market responsiveness. The company’s vision and innovation pipeline are not only shaping the future of non-human identity solutions but also advancing the overall identity security market.
The Frost & Sullivan Technology Innovation Leadership Recognition is awarded annually to a company that exemplifies outstanding strategy development and execution, resulting in significant improvements in market impact and customer value.
