BeyondTrust releases new intelligent identity and access security platform

BeyondTrust, a provider of intelligent identity and access security, has released the BeyondTrust Platform, which features a modern architecture that provides unprecedented visibility of identities and access across an organization’s entire digital estate, from on-premises to cloud, hybrid, and operational technology environments. The BeyondTrust Platform provides the most powerful intelligent identity and access security via an elegant, unified platform and interface that eliminates friction and drives unparalleled insights for organizations of all sizes.

Organizations are being asked to do more with less as the threat landscape evolves. They understand that a patchwork of solutions or a poorly integrated ecosystem will not suffice to address emerging security issues.

The BeyondTrust Platform uses a single interface to discover, manage, and protect identities, control access, and detect anomalous activity proactively. Through a revolutionary single agent approach and unified management console across all BeyondTrust apps, this new solution reduces complexity and management burden. BeyondTrust announced the following in addition to the platform:

• BeyondTrust’s new Endpoint Security App, a modern privilege management solution that enables better policy management, access control, aggregated application monitoring, and threat detection; these integrated capabilities prevent attackers from elevating privileges, mitigating cyberattacks.
• The initial release of BeyondTrust’s new Cloud Privilege Manager App, which provides visibility and management of entitlements across multicloud environments from a single pane of glass. Together, with the Endpoint Security App, it enables broad visibility of identities across an organization’s on-premises and cloud footprint.

Organizations can better address existing use cases and expand to new ones by implementing a natively integrated and unified solution for identity and access security, reducing their attack surface even further. The BeyondTrust Platform offers a consolidated view of an organization’s identity landscape. This visibility benefits organizations by:

• Better manage, control, and protect their identity landscape
• More effectively control access to critical resources
• Easily meet security and compliance targets

Key features and benefits include:

• Breakthrough User Experience – Unprecedented ease of use by leveraging natively integrated common capabilities, which can be activated as needed with a new trial and self-service approach
