BeyondTrust releases BeyondTrust Password Safe 22.1 and BeyondInsight 22.1

BeyondTrust has announced the availability of BeyondTrust Password Safe 22.1 and BeyondInsight 22.1. BeyondTrust Password Safe features have been enhanced to accommodate more service account interfaces, allowing security teams to detect and bring all accounts under centralised and automated onboarding and management.

According to the company, security teams are increasingly looking for solutions that protect managed account credentials for a range of service types and locations, as well as assets. If credentials are not updated in conjunction with managed accounts, services can fail and have a major impact on corporate operations.

BeyondTrust has improved the BeyondInsight user experience by enabling admins to install Web Policy Editor (WPE) and integrate AzureAD for endpoint management. Admins can directly edit policy in the BeyondInsight management console for a vastly improved user experience.

“Organizations need credential management solutions that flexibly adapt to their heterogeneous technology environments and dynamic business needs,” said  Sam Elliott, Vice President of Product Management at BeyondTrust . “BeyondTrust Password Safe and BeyondInsight are now even more extensible, helping them more easily integrate privileged password management into more diverse business-critical systems. Admins are able to accomplish more, with less time and fewer resources.”

BeyondTrust Password Safe 22.1 expands extensibility to enable security teams cover additional assets under supervision and enhance their security posture. This adds tighter service account connectors for COM+, DCOM, SCOM, Clustering, and Win Auto Login management.

BeyondTrust Password Safe 22.1 and BeyondInsight 22.1 assist administrators in managing the rising complexity of their service account systems by detecting additional account types, centralising account administration, and automating new account onboarding and management.

BeyondTrust Password Safe 22.1 and BeyondInsight 22.1 new features and enhancements:

• Expanded support for additional service account integrations
  • COM+ and DCOM Services – These services are discovered via scan, and managed and rotated with manual configuration or automated via APIs and Smart Rules.
  • Clustering – New Windows Services Clustering API is automatically utilized to manage any services within a clustering configuration.
  • SCOM – The 2019 version of SCOM is supported and can be discovered via scan, managed and rotated with manual configuration or automated via APIs and Smart Rules.
  • Win Auto Login – Supports systems and services that automatically login into Windows, with login credentials that are stored in the registry for managing and updating.
• BeyondInsight improves the user experience with the integrated Web Policy Editor (also available on AzureAD) to enable policy editing within the management console, for improved API access to user audit events and leveled up workflows around discovery scans and user management.
• Endpoint Privilege Management (EPM) Policy Locking – BeyondInsight WPE supports EPM policy locking to protect a policy actively being edited from being simultaneously edited by a different user.
