Delinea Secret Server Benefits
Delinea Secret Server supports our remote access needs.
For remote access needs, we have implemented MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication) and SSO (Single Sign-On) across various applications. We use third-party tools like Ping and SailPoint to integrate with the PAM tools.
Moreover, password rotation has been effective in our environment. We weren't rotating many application passwords before, but an audit from the OCC (Office of the Comptroller of the Currency) triggered a change.
We now rotate all non-human accounts except for Active Directory and local accounts. It's a best practice, so we set a 30-day rotation for some applications like mainframes and applications that support direct password changes. For others, we set it to 8 hours.
Initially, the application teams struggled to adapt to the PAM culture. It's an organizational-wide change, so it took some time. We guided the application owners and platform teams on setting password rotation policies and initial password guidelines.
This helped minimize the impact of breaches, especially in Linux and Windows environments. We also have continuous monitoring with Splunk. We integrated the Delinea Secret Server logs into Splunk for centralized log management.

View full review »We implemented the product for our privileged identities. We have configured them in check-in/check-out rotation. Delinea Secret Server rotates the password each time a privileged identity is checked in, making the password valid only for some time.

- Better adoption of PAM
We previously had a very lax password policy, and passwords were stored in Excel spreadsheets. Passwords were often not documented, or the documented password was not updated if changed. We now have a much stricter, safer password policy. Secret Server has improved security, productivity and helped achieve a much higher state of compliance.

We use Delinea Secret Server, but not to its full capacity. We are still exploring other products due to company policies. At this stage, we're not actively looking at such products. My main objective was to get some initial information and update my knowledge for future projects.

We use it to search for service accounts across the network. It has significantly helped with staff productivity because it's a less manual process now.
Our security program is about two years old so we're relatively immature, but this was a tremendous step towards being able to securely store passwords.

Before this solution, people had their own passwords stored in different areas and when something was needed we could not find the right person that had the right password, which meant quite a lot in migrations scenarios. With this solution, everyone knew what tools to use and where to put the password and who gives access to that password and then we could have reports on who has access to different passwords so that we could do audits.

It reduces the risk of secrets being stored in insecure locations, and enables us to share, control, and rotate the secrets. It has also helped to increase staff productivity. It has saved a few man-hours per employee per month.
In terms of security maturity for our organization, it definitely helps with the overall secrets-management aspect. Before, the secrets were not managed online or in a central place. Governance was hard. It has matured the security program in that way.
