Climb Channel Solutions Ireland has recently announced the expansion of its longstanding distribution partnership with Delinea.

The agreement, which has seen significant and sustained success in North America, is now being extended to Europe with an initial focus on Ireland, the UK, and DACH (Germany, Austria, and Switzerland) regions.

“After years of proven success with Delinea in North America, expanding our partnership into Europe is the natural next step, and a strategically important one,” said Gerard Brophy, CRO at Climb.

He added: “Our partners need modern, AI-augmented security technologies that give their customers confidence and resilience. Delinea’s platform does exactly that.”

Delinea provides smart, reliable identity security solutions that empower enterprises to control, monitor, and protect privileged access for all human, machine, and agentic AI identities across complex hybrid and multicloud environments.

The Delinea platform extends beyond traditional privileged access management (PAM) to deliver total visibility, intelligent authorisation, and simplified security that scales effortlessly as businesses grow.

Powered by Delinea Iris AI, the platform anticipates identity risks and automates access decisions, helping organisations stay ahead of cyber adversaries in an era defined by AI-driven threats.

 “We see growing demand for identity security technologies that are intuitive, scalable, and built for real-time threat defence. Privileged access remains one of the most targeted attack vectors, and Delinea delivers the simplicity, intelligence, and reliability enterprises are looking for,” Brophy said.

To support the European expansion, Climb has appointed Amy Nairne-Clark as cyber security vendor manager. With 20 years of IT distribution and cybersecurity experience, she will lead the regional go-to-market strategy and develop new opportunities for partners across the launch regions.

In Climb’s AI Readiness Survey, conducted among 600 enterprises across Ireland, the UK and DACH, 56% of respondents said AI makes their organisation more vulnerable to cyber-attacks.

Threats such as prompt leakage, generative phishing, and adversarial misuse underscore the growing need for advanced identity security and modernised privileged access controls.

Delinea was recognised as a Leader in the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Privileged Access Management, marking its seventh consecutive appearance.

This reflects the company’s longstanding innovation, trusted customer base, and its leadership across workload identity, secrets management, CIEM, UNIX/Linux privilege elevation (PEDM), and privileged credential management.

“Our expanded partnership with Climb is designed to drive growth across key regions and help customers address escalating identity security challenges in the age of AI,” Chris Kelly, president of Delinea, said.

He added: “compromised credentials remain the biggest risk to organisations today. By partnering with Climb in Europe, we can help more customers reduce the blast radius of identity-based threats while staying ahead of increasingly sophisticated adversaries.”

Climb will also host partner launch events in London, Dublin, and Munich in Q1 2026, helping partners to understand Delinea’s platform and offering practical guidance on strengthening trust, resilience, and real-time identity security as AI adoption continues to accelerate.
