BeyondTrust is strengthening its position in the field of identity security with a range of integrated components that provide transparency about identities, secure privileged access and enforce the principles of least privilege. In a recent market report, the company was rated as a leader in privileged identity management — a classification that underscores its strategic focus on comprehensive identity control and operational readiness.
At the core of the offering is the Identity Security Insights analytics solution. It aggregates and correlates telemetry from BeyondTrust products and third-party sources to identify suspicious patterns that indicate compromised identities or misuse of privileged accounts. The ability to centrally evaluate different data sources improves incident prioritisation and helps security teams close attack paths faster and reduce the time from discovery to response.
BeyondTrust provides its proven Remote Support platform for operational support. The solution enables support teams to securely access endpoints on all common platforms — including Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android — with a particular focus on tamper-proof protocols. Complete, tamper-proof audit logs provide traceability for compliance requirements while enabling efficient support for users and customers.
The offering is rounded off by Privileged Remote Access, which enables controlled remote access to critical systems. This component aims to manage, log and audit privileged connections from employees, external service providers or contractors — without the need for traditional VPN tunnels. The solution supports different operating models and can be integrated into local and cloud-based environments, creating flexibility in modern working environments.
To systematically secure access data, BeyondTrust relies on Password Safe. This platform combines privileged password management with session control: administrators, applications, SSH keys, cloud administrator accounts and even automation accounts (RPA) are centrally recorded, continuously identified and integrated into semi- or fully-automated processes for rotation and use. This automation significantly reduces the risks associated with static or uncontrolled secrets.
At the endpoints, Endpoint Privilege Management addresses the classic problem of excessive rights. The solution enables applications to run with only the necessary permissions, preventing users or processes from receiving more rights than they need for their work. Cross-platform for Windows, macOS and Linux, this module ensures granular control of installations and executions – a central component for implementing least privilege strategies.
The interaction of these components results in a multi-layered identity security concept: visibility through data collection and correlation, control through credential and session management as well as access control, and enforcement through privileged endpoint management. For businesses with high compliance requirements, this means a practical way to improve both operational efficiency and audit and security evidence.
Overall, BeyondTrust’s product lines show a clear focus on the areas of detection, protection and management of privileged identities — an approach that is becoming increasingly important in environments with complex access scenarios and strict accountability requirements.
