Delinea
Delinea will be participating at GITEX Global 2023 under the theme ‘Empowering Businesses for Secure Digital Future’. Aligning with its mission of enabling organisations to meet an increasingly complex cybersecurity landscape and stringent requirements from cyber insurance providers, the company will use its GITEX participation to showcase its complete product portfolio and recent innovations.
Among others, Delinea will present the recently announced enhancements to Secret Server which introduced a new layer of security for highly sensitive accounts with MFA on credentials. Separate from the one at login, this second MFA is flexible in its enforcement and organisations can continue to use their existing authenticator solutions such as the Delinea Mobile App, Yubikey, and other devices using FIDO2 protocols. It will also present the newly updated policy editor to its DevOps Secret Vault which improves the ability for administrators to set more granular access controls for secrets used in code, reducing the time and complexity of setting up secrets management across multiple DevOps teams and ensuring secrets only have the permissions needed for their intended use.
Meet the team at Hall 23- B55.

Illumio’s theme at GITEX 2023 is breach containment, specifically how organisations can move from preventing to surviving attacks to boost cyber resilience. At the stand, the company will be showing how organisations can stop breaches from spreading across hybrid environments with Zero Trust Segmentation. This includes demonstrations of several use cases including ransomware containment, IT/OT convergence, workload and endpoint segmentation, and cloud security.
Another big focus would be on simplifying Microsoft Azure Firewall policy management through Illumio for Microsoft Azure Firewall solution. It’s a new product that empowers businesses to use the Azure Firewall as a Zero Trust enforcement point and helps security teams visualise and secure traffic between Azure resources.

Furthermore, the company’s solutions can be deployed in a wider array of setups than any other industry player — in the cloud, on-premises, or even in air-gapped networks.
