What is Zero Trust with AI (ZTAI)?

Zero Trust with AI (ZTAI) brings machine intelligence into the Zero Trust model, so access decisions aren’t just enforced; they’re continuously evaluated based on context and behavior.

What is Behavior-Based Access Control (BBAC)?

What is Behavior-Based Access Control (BBAC)?

Behavior-Based Access Control adjusts access dynamically based on how users behave, not just who they are. Instead of granting access once and moving on, BBAC continuously evaluates activity and context to make real-time decisions.

What is Data Security Posture Management (DSPM)?

What is Data Security Posture Management (DSPM)?

Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) gives security teams control over what matters most—sensitive data. It continuously identifies where data lives, who can access it, and where the risks are hiding.

What is Machine Learning?

Delinea Team — Thu, 19 Feb 2026 21:24:47 GMT

What is machine learning?

Machine learning (ML) is a type of artificial intelligence that enables systems to identify patterns in data and improve predictions over time. In cybersecurity, machine learning helps teams detect threats earlier, prioritize alerts, and identify suspicious access patterns across users, devices, and systems.

What is Human in the Loop (HITL)?

Delinea Team — Mon, 16 Feb 2026 22:27:01 GMT

What is Human in the Loop?

Human in the Loop (HITL) is a design principle that places people at key decision points in automated systems. It ensures that machines don’t operate unchecked, especially in high-risk environments, by adding human oversight, validation, or intervention where needed.

What is Identity Security Posture Management (ISPM)?

Delinea Team — Mon, 16 Feb 2026 17:54:49 GMT

What is ISPM?

Identity Security Posture Management (ISPM) is a security discipline focused on continuously assessing, monitoring, and improving the risk posture of identities and their access across an organization.

Business User

What is a Business User?

A business user is an employee within an organization who accesses business-related accounts, applications, or assets using credentials. While they may not hold administrative or privileged rights, their accounts still require oversight and protection.

What is Model Context Protocol (MCP)?

Delinea Team — Mon, 22 Sep 2025 18:52:18 GMT

What is Model Context Protocol?

Model Context Protocol is the universal connector between AI and enterprise systems. It gives AI agents and automation a single, secure way to access data, applications, and workflows—without the complexity of custom integrations.

What is Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC)?

Delinea Team — Thu, 04 Sep 2025 20:35:14 GMT

What is Post-Quantum Cryptography?

Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) refers to cryptographic methods designed to remain secure—even when quantum computers become capable of breaking today’s encryption. These algorithms don’t need quantum technology to run. They work on classical systems but are built to withstand quantum-level attacks.

What are Non-Human Identities (NHIs)?

Delinea Team — Fri, 18 Jul 2025 21:06:41 GMT

What Are Non-Human Identities?

Non-Human Identities (or machine identities) are digital credentials assigned to applications, services, scripts, and devices—not people. They’re how workloads talk to databases, how cloud functions spin up resources, how APIs exchange data. No humans in the loop. Just machines doing their job—fast, automated, and at scale.
