SharkStriker and Dela Security Partnership: Securing the New Identity Front Line

Why Identity Is Now the Front Line of Cybersecurity

Cyber attackers have changed how they operate.

They no longer need to break in.
They log in.

Across cloud and hybrid environments, identities have become the easiest and most effective way for attackers to gain access, as highlighted in our guide on The Rise of Identity-Based Attacks. Credentials, tokens, and service accounts are now the primary targets, enabling breaches without triggering traditional alerts.

This creates a growing challenge for security teams:

• Too many alerts, but not enough context
• Limited visibility into identity-based risks, especially across complex Active Directory attack paths
• Increasing attacker dwell time before detection

As identity becomes the new battleground, organizations need a different approach.

The Shift: From Detection to Identity-First Response

Traditional security tools were not designed for identity threats.

They often lack:

• Identity context
• Risk prioritization
• Actionable insights

This creates a gap between detection and response.

To close this gap, identity security must move from:
visibility → understanding → action

And it must happen quickly.

Introducing the SharkStriker and Dela Security Partnership

To address this shift, SharkStriker and Dela Security have formed a strategic partnership to deliver next-generation Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR).

This collaboration brings together:

• SharkStriker’s 24/7 SOC and STRIEGO platform
• Dela Security’s identity-native detection and analytics platform

Together, the combined solution delivers:

• Continuous identity telemetry across cloud and hybrid environments
• High-fidelity, contextualized threat detection
• Prioritized alerts that reduce noise and alert fatigue
• Playbook-driven response to contain threats quickly, supported by modern approaches like one-click remediation

The goal is simple:
Help organizations detect, understand, and stop identity-based threats faster.

What This Means for Security Leaders

For CIOs, CTOs, and security teams, this is more than a technical upgrade.

It is about gaining control.

With identity at the center of modern environments, organizations need to:

• Reduce breach likelihood
• Minimize attacker dwell time
• Protect critical systems tied to identity access
• Strengthen compliance and audit readiness
• Operate effectively with limited internal resources

This partnership enables all of that without adding complexity.

A Scalable Approach to Identity Security

One of the key advantages of this offering is flexibility.

SharkStriker, powered by Dela Security, delivers tiered ITDR services:

• Essential – Identity visibility and detection
• Advanced – Contextual analysis and prioritization
• Elite – Full detection, investigation, and response

This allows organizations to adopt identity security at their own pace while maintaining enterprise-grade protection.

Turning Identity Insights into Action

As highlighted by leadership from both organizations:

“Attackers are increasingly exploiting identities as their primary entry point. This partnership enables us to deliver precise, operationally proven identity threat detection and response, combining human expertise with advanced technology to reduce risk at scale.”
— Ajay Nawani, CEO, SharkStriker

“Identity threats require identity-first detection and response. Together with SharkStriker, we are enabling organizations to turn identity insights into decisive action, stopping threats before they escalate.”
— Marco Afzali, CEO, Dela Security

The Bigger Picture

Organizations that fail to address identity risks early often face longer breach cycles, higher remediation costs, and greater operational disruption. This is why identity-focused strategies are becoming a priority for modern security teams.

The rise of identity-first attacks is not slowing down.

Cloud adoption, SaaS growth, and third-party access continue to expand the attack surface. At the same time, security teams are stretched thin.

This is why the future of cybersecurity is shifting toward:

• Identity-first detection
• Managed response
• Automation combined with human expertise

What This Means Moving Forward

Security is no longer just about preventing access.

It is about understanding identities and acting on that intelligence before attackers do.

The SharkStriker and Dela Security partnership is built around that principle: Turning identity visibility into decisive action.
