Optimizing Security & Licensing in D365: How Alex Meyer, Delinea & FastPath Are Leading the Way

Optimizing Security & Licensing in D365: How Alex Meyer, Delinea & FastPath Are Leading the Way

In today’s fast-evolving digital landscape, security and compliance are more critical than ever—especially for businesses leveraging Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations (D365 F&O). Managing user access, optimizing licensing, and ensuring regulatory compliance can be complex, costly, and time-consuming. However, thanks to the pioneering work of Alex Meyer , Delinea , and Fastpath Solutions, LLC , businesses now have access to advanced telemetry tools that bring a smarter, data-driven approach to security governance.


A Game-Changing Telemetry Feature for D365 F&O

One of the most significant developments in security and licensing optimization has been the introduction of a new telemetry-based feature by Delinea and FastPath. Spearheaded by Alex Meyer, this feature provides organizations with unprecedented visibility into actual user access versus assigned access.

What does this mean for businesses? Instead of just knowing what access employees should have, organizations can now track what they actually use, helping to:

  • Identify and remove over-provisioned access
  • Reduce unnecessary licensing costs
  • Strengthen security posture by ensuring least-privilege access

This is a significant shift from traditional static role assignments to a more dynamic and risk-based approach—an essential step in ensuring security without inflating costs.

How This Fits into Microsoft’s Security Landscape

With Microsoft’s recent acquisition of security governance tooling from Executive Automats, some might wonder how this impacts third-party solutions like FastPath. While Microsoft’s offering introduces some built-in governance capabilities, Alex Meyer and his team have been enhancing FastPath’s functionality to maintain a competitive edge.

Here’s where FastPath stands out:

  • Deep compliance focus – Covers SOX, GDPR, J-SOX, and other regulatory needs
  • Advanced telemetry insights – Goes beyond native Microsoft reporting
  • Intelligent role optimization – Automates rightsizing of access based on real usage

Unlike Microsoft’s regression-testing-rooted approach, FastPath remains security-first, making it a preferred solution for enterprises with stringent audit requirements.
