Ismail, a business leader with substantial expertise in growing market shares for IT companies with international footprints and global outreach, has over 22 years of experience in the US, Middle East, Africa, and Southeast Asia. Prior to Delinea, he served as the Vice President of sales at Shifra where he played a lead role in accelerating the company’s growth. In the early stages of his career, Ismail worked for global technology companies such as Nortel Networks, Schlumberger, Check Point, and Utimaco. He also led the Identity & Access Management business for Gemalto across the META.

Ismail said, “with a local talented pool of security experts, Delinea is well positioned to help organizations across the Middle East address their security risks and protect their critical assets. I am excited to be leading the company’s sales operation in the Middle east, and I look forward to working with the local team and our channel partners to execute our growth plans.”

“Our partnership with Authomize furthers our commitment to ensure that our customers’ cloud and SaaS environments remain secure by protecting sensitive cloud-native identities and entitlements,” said Ram Venkatachalam, Head of Strategy and Business Development at Delinea.

Delinea and Authomize claim to have partnered to create joint use cases, which will enable organizations to gain better control over who can access cloud applications and services. By deploying both products together, organizations could store credentials while automating access governance, thus reducing credential theft and lateral movement in all cloud environments including Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), and more.

“We are excited to bring our full-stack CIEM, SaaS security, and Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR) capabilities to Delinea’s industry-recognized privileged access management solution,” said Dotan Bar Noy, CEO of Authomize.
