Delinea will use GISEC Global 2026 to highlight a growing cybersecurity challenge in the age of autonomous AI: governing what AI agents do after they have been granted access to enterprise systems.
Under the theme “From Access to Action: Governing AI at Runtime,” Delinea will showcase its latest runtime authorization capabilities designed to help organizations enforce security policies on AI agents in real time, ensuring actions are evaluated and controlled as they occur rather than only at the point of authentication.
As AI agents become increasingly integrated into enterprise environments and gain access to databases, cloud platforms, infrastructure systems, and business applications, security concerns are evolving beyond identity verification. According to Delinea, the key challenge is no longer whether an AI agent can access a system, but whether organizations can control what actions the agent performs once inside.
“The question for organisations is no longer simply whether an AI agent can access a critical system. It is whether they can govern what that agent does once it is inside,” said Mortada Ayad, VP Sales, Delinea.
“The question for organisations is no longer simply whether an AI agent can access a critical system. It is whether they can govern what that agent does once it is inside. At GISEC, we want to put that challenge, and the need for runtime control, at the centre of the regional conversation,” said Mortada Ayad, Vice President Sales at Delinea.
The company’s runtime authorization technology applies policy controls at the moment an action is executed, allowing organizations to approve, block, or escalate activities in real time. This approach helps reduce operational and security risks associated with autonomous AI systems that may otherwise perform actions beyond their intended scope despite having legitimate access credentials.
Delinea’s solution supports governance across a range of environments frequently used by AI agents, including databases, SSH hosts, Kubernetes clusters, and cloud consoles. By combining just-in-time, task-specific access with continuous policy enforcement, organizations can reduce reliance on standing privileges while maintaining visibility and auditability of AI-driven activities.
The company’s presence at GISEC will also underscore its channel-focused strategy in the Middle East. Delinea will exhibit through regional distribution partner Shifra and systems integration partner Defa3, reflecting its commitment to helping partners build expertise around identity security and AI governance.
This strategy aligns with the recently launched Delinea Partner Advantage Program, which provides channel partners with enhanced enablement, deal protection, incentives, and AI-focused support to help customers implement secure identity and privileged access management practices.
“For a capability this consequential, technology alone is not enough. Customers need partners who understand their environment, their risk and how to translate security policy into practical control,” Ayad added.
As organizations accelerate AI adoption, Delinea believes runtime governance will become a critical component of enterprise security, ensuring that authorized access does not automatically translate into unrestricted actions. The company will be engaging with customers and partners at Shifra’s Stand B80 and Defa3’s Stand B175 during GISEC Global 2026.
