BeyondTrust released the results of a commissioned study conducted by Forrester Consulting on behalf of BeyondTrust titled, “Evolving Privileged Identity Management (PIM) In the Next Normal,” November 2020.

The concept of passwordless administration is generally linked to just-in-timePAM, since the methods of applying passwordless administration can cover several technologies to temporarily elevate the user or the application for the specific requested task. In other words, in lieu of entering secondary administrative credentials, the user is trusted based on context.

As organizations are challenged to secure endpoints that are now in employees’ homes, BeyondTrust Privilege Management for Windows and Mac allows them to secure user devices and limit privileges without hindering productivity or driving up calls to the service desk.

The ultimate goal of privileged password management is to reduce risk by identifying, securely storing, and centrally managing every credential that provides elevated access. It works hand-in-hand with implementing least privilege and should be a foundational element of any organization’s privileged access management (PAM) initiatives.

The Universal Privilege Management model allows enterprises to start with the PAM use cases that are most urgent to the organization, and then seamlessly address remaining use cases over time.

IT professionals seeking remote support software should not only be looking for a solution that helps them troubleshoot technical problems, but also one that bolsters remote access security, is easy-to-use for technicians, enhances the customer experience, and fits into their existing infrastructure.
