BeyondTrust announces PAM integration with SailPoint identity security cloud

BeyondTrust, a provider of intelligent identity and access security, has announced the integration of BeyondTrust Password Safe with SailPoint identity security offerings, both in the cloud and on-premises.

This collaboration addresses critical customer challenges by identifying and closing gaps in access governance and eliminating operational inefficiencies caused by manual management of privileged accounts and permissions.

“We are so thrilled to be the first and only PAM vendor integrated and certified with SailPoint, and that is a testament to our partnership with SailPoint, and BeyondTrust’s dedication to our mutual customers and technology innovation,” said David Manks, Vice President of Global Strategic Alliances at BeyondTrust. “With identity at the heart of security, it is more important than ever that technology leaders work together to build a certified and trusted ecosystem, helping our customers achieve their security goals.”

Organizations require a unified governance and security solution that provides a centralized view of all identities and access, including privileged accounts. Password Safe is a natural and desired extension to SailPoint, particularly in the areas of Privileged Access and Privileged Sessions Governance.

As organizations migrate to the cloud at a faster rate than ever before, a cloud-first strategy is no longer a pipe dream; it is a business necessity. Identity is the critical key to successful access management and governance as organizations make the transition. Organizations want out-of-the-box integrations that don’t necessitate the use of third-party services to connect. This enables them to concentrate on growing the value of their company rather than becoming bogged down with complex, costly, and time-consuming integration implementations.

Access Governance around privileged access is critical to an organization’s overall security posture at a time when a single compromised privileged account can result in significant damage to an organization’s operations and reputation.

BeyondTrust Password Safe and SailPoint Identity Security Cloud work together to provide a hyper-scalable approach to managing privileged access for many critical business processes, such as access requests, access certifications, provisioning, search and analytics, and more.

Access governance enabled by the BeyondTrust PAM solution fulfills a requirement for many organizations, large and small. Automation through provisioning and access requests eliminates time-consuming and tedious manual tasks, allowing administrators to focus on more productive projects while reducing the risk of human errors and delays.

“Our partnership with BeyondTrust enables us to better serve clients as they navigate some of the most complex security challenges,” says Ahmed Shah, senior vice president of strategic alliances and partnerships at Optiv. “BeyondTrust’s PAM Integration is vital to an overall security model that encompasses security privileged and non-privileged identities to enable a Zero Trust approach.”

The new BeyondTrust Password Safe and SailPoint integration offers customers the following benefits:

• A deep level of granularity for PAM access governance and compliance

• Augment PAM information into existing IdentityNow business processes, including access request, access certification, provisioning, search and analytics

• Improved user experience, by providing a singled, centralized, business user-friendly view into all identities including privileged accounts within SailPoint Identity Security Cloud

• Support for BeyondTrust Password Safe, for both cloud and on-premises deployments

• Benefit from SailPoint AI and machine learning (ML) recommendations for PAM entitlements within Certification campaigns and Access Requests
