Delinea announced the latest version of Cloud Suite, part of its Server PAM solution, which provides privileged access to and authorization for servers.

Updates include more granular support for just-in-time (JIT) and just-enough privilege access automation, and improved identity assurance through enforced human interaction when prompted for multi-factor authentication (MFA) at server log-in or privilege elevation.

Recent updates to Cloud Suite's privilege elevation controls allow administrators to request specific commands or sets of commands from within the interface when accessing local or cloud-hosted servers. Policies can be set up to automate just-in-time and just-enough privilege scenarios, reducing the risk related to standing privileges and aligning with Zero Trust best practices.

Additionally, enhancements to the MFA enforcement functionality in Cloud Suite now involve additional requirements for human interaction to authenticate and cannot be bypassed through automation.

"The ability to limit standing privileges at the host level and enforce authentication at server login and at privilege elevation is unique to Delinea," said Phil Calvin, Chief Product Officer at Delinea. "We continue to refine and focus our solutions with the most current and modern privileged access best practices, helping our customers reduce the risk and impact of cyberattacks."

Additional updates in this release include support for FastSQL, further improving the performance, security, and scalability of Cloud Suite.
