As Microsoft prepares to sunset its Entra Permissions Management solution on October 1, 2025, Delinea is stepping in to support customers through the transition—offering an alternative in the form of Delinea’s Privilege Control for Cloud Entitlements (PCCE).
This partnership ensures that current Microsoft Entra Permissions Management users won't lose critical functionality or visibility across their cloud environments. Instead, they gain access to Delinea’s advanced Cloud Infrastructure Entitlement Management (CIEM) solution, designed to secure both human and machine identities across Microsoft Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud Platform.
Solving the Identity Explosion in the Age of AI
As AI adoption accelerates, so does the proliferation of identities across cloud ecosystems—each representing a potential entry point for threat actors. Delinea’s PCCE solution addresses this challenge by helping organizations discover, monitor, and secure identities in real time. The platform uses AI-driven analytics and continuous discovery to enforce least privilege principles, reducing the risk of overprivileged and misconfigured access.
A Shared Vision for Seamless, Secure Access
Delinea and Microsoft have a history of working together to help enterprises manage identity security at scale. With this new collaboration, the focus is on ensuring continuity for existing Entra Permissions Management customers—with dedicated teams from both companies guiding the transition to Delinea’s platform. This effort reinforces Microsoft’s trust in Delinea as a strategic partner and highlights their vision to enable secure, scalable identity governance across multi-cloud environments.
Chris Kelly, President GTM, Delinea reinforces the message and also highlights, “This is a valuable opportunity for Delinea channel partners to demonstrate the benefits of supporting Microsoft Entra Permissions Management customers as they transition to Delinea’s PCCE. We’re offering competitive discounts that align with our existing channel sales programs.”
MSSP Opportunities Post-Entra
For MSSPs, the transition from Microsoft Entra Permissions Management to Delinea’s Privilege Control for Cloud Entitlements (PCCE) presents an inflection point. With Microsoft’s endorsement of Delinea as a preferred partner for Cloud Infrastructure Entitlement Management (CIEM), MSSPs get a mature, enterprise-grade platform that supports comprehensive identity governance across Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud environments. Delinea’s AI-powered solution enables MSSPs to maintain service continuity while enhancing their offerings with advanced capabilities such as continuous entitlement discovery, privilege refactoring, and anomaly detection—critical in mitigating identity-related risks in complex, multi-cloud environments.
This collaboration between Delinea and Microsoft further reinforces long-term viability and operational confidence for MSSPs looking to support their clients through the deprecation of Entra Permissions Management. With dedicated transition support, rapid deployment timelines, and centralized visibility into identity posture, Delinea’s PCCE enables MSSPs to streamline entitlement management at scale. This ensures regulatory and security compliance and positions MSSPs to deliver differentiated value through proactive identity risk mitigation and optimized cloud access control.
