• Organization needs centralized privileged credential management across hybrid infrastructure

• Compliance requirements mandate privileged access controls (SOX, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, NIST 800-53)

• Service accounts and shared credentials are stored in spreadsheets or plaintext files

• Need to implement automated password rotation for privileged accounts

• Require session recording and keystroke logging for privileged user activity

• Migrating from manual PAM processes to an enterprise vault solution

Do not use for standard end-user password management; Delinea Secret Server is designed for privileged and shared account credential management requiring enterprise-grade controls.

When NOT to Use

• When you lack proper authorization for testing
• For production systems without change management
• When the task requires legal or compliance expertise beyond technical scope

• Delinea Secret Server license (On-Premises or Cloud)
• Windows Server 2019/2022 for on-premises deployment with IIS and SQL Server
• Active Directory service account with read permissions for discovery
• SSL/TLS certificate for web interface encryption

• PowerShell 5.1+ for automation scripts

Workflow

# Example: IOC detection
import re

IOC_PATTERNS = {
    "ip": r"\b(?:\d{1,3}\.){3}\d{1,3}\b",
    "domain": r"\b[a-z0-9-]+\.[a-z]{2,}\b",
    "hash_md5": r"\b[a-f0-9]{32}\b",
    "hash_sha256": r"\b[a-f0-9]{64}\b",
}

def extract_iocs() -> :
     {k: re.findall(v, text)  k, v  IOC_PATTERNS.items()}
