BeyondTrust Use Cases Identity Security Insights Use cases Product highlight: Identity threat detection Faster investigation and response to security incidents Consistent, cross-platform transparency A comprehensive overview of identities and access within the organisation enables the identification of attack vectors that were previously invisible. This provides comprehensive transparency regarding access structures and identity-based risks in complex IT environments. Identity threat detection Over-privileged accounts and users, inadequate security controls and anomalous events are identified – including incidents involving multiple identities and access points. This supports the early detection of identity threats and identity-based attack scenarios. Proactive identity management Recommended measures can be implemented before identity-based threats arise. Proactive identity hygiene strengthens the security of digital identities and speeds up the identification of potential risks. Cloud Least Privilege Permissions in multi-cloud environments are discovered, visualised and verified via a central interface. The consistent application of the principle of least privilege reduces unnecessary access rights and enhances cloud security. Preventing the extension of privileges The granting of permissions to human and machine identities is continuously monitored, adjusted and restricted. All access is granted in accordance with the principle that identities are granted only the permissions necessary for their tasks. Holistic ecosystem Privileged Access Management (PAM) solutions, including BeyondTrust integrations and connected systems, are being optimised. This creates enhanced capabilities for identity security and a powerful ecosystem for identity and access management. Back to BeyondTrust Password Safe Use cases Product highlight: Smart automation Fast ROI Zero-trust enclave and architecture Powerful integrations Simplified compliance Secure business accounts for employees Management of login credentials, keys and secrets Accounts are automatically detected and integrated. Privileged passwords are stored, managed and rotated regularly to enhance security and compliance. Embedded credentials are eliminated, and employees’ business passwords are securely protected. Real-time session management All activities and sessions involving privileged credentials are logged and monitored. This supports compliance with regulatory requirements as well as forensic analysis, including the collection of relevant session metadata. Advanced auditing and forensics Comprehensive analyses of permissions and access credentials facilitate regulatory compliance, benchmark tracking and detailed evaluation of security-related incidents. This ensures transparent and traceable identity and access security. Back to BeyondTrust Privileged Remote Access Use cases Product highlight: Consolidated access paths Simplified onboarding processes One-click cloud access Session monitoring, management and auditing Privileged password vaulting & credential injection Secure access for staff – wherever they are Employee security and productivity are maximised by providing login credentials and secure remote access to authorised systems. This enables secure access to company resources from various locations. Vendor Privileged Access Management (VPAM) Trusted providers are granted secure and straightforward remote access to systems without the need for VPNs or known login credentials. This facilitates controlled access and enhances the security of third-party access. Cloud infrastructure access Cloud developers and DevOps engineers are provided with seamless and secure connectivity. Authentication and auditability across the entire infrastructure ensure traceable access and secure management of cloud resources. Back to BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management Use cases Product highlight: Eligibility for cyber insurance Protection against external threats Protection against internal threats Improved operational efficiency Privilege management on Windows, Mac and Linux Local administrator rights are removed and root access is controlled. The principle of least privilege is seamlessly implemented on desktops and servers running Windows, macOS and Linux systems to ensure consistent access control. Reducing the attack surface The attack surface for cyberattacks is reduced in order to strengthen protection against malware, ransomware and identity-based attacks. This helps to create a more secure IT environment and minimise potential security risks. Audit and Compliance Assurance A consistent, immutable audit trail of all privileged operations makes it easier to meet compliance and cyber insurance requirements. This ensures that security-related activities are documented in a traceable and compliant manner. Back to BeyondTrust Entitle Use cases Product highlight: Winners of the SC Awards 2024 Scaling just-in-time access Emergency access SIEM alerts for privileged access Improved visibility of permissions Automation of access checks JIT access to production and customer data Controlled, privileged self-service access is provided for defined periods, including ticket processing, on-call rotations and automatic revocation. This ensures that access is used only as required and helps to safeguard sensitive production and customer data. Faster processing of access requests The number of support tickets relating to access requests is reduced by up to 85% thanks to faster approvals and automated provisioning. This makes access processes more efficient and minimises administrative workload. Automatic monitoring of user access Compliance reports can be produced more quickly, as incidents are automatically recorded and delegated to the relevant departments. This facilitates a transparent and traceable audit of access activities, as well as compliance with regulatory requirements. Back to BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management (PASM) Use cases Product highlight: Management of all privileged accounts and sessions Inventory and onboarding of all privileged accounts Secure remote access for third-party providers and employees Implementation of real-time session management Compliance with regulatory and audit requirements Simplified access to cloud infrastructures Privileged Account & Session Management Accounts are automatically detected and integrated. Privileged credentials are stored and managed, whilst privileged activities are logged and monitored. Employees’ business passwords are securely protected to ensure identity and access security. Secure access for users and systems – anywhere User productivity and security are maximised through credential injection and secure remote access to authorised systems. Access can be granted to both employees and authorised suppliers to enable the controlled and secure use of company resources. Comprehensive protection against cyber threats Protection against cyber threats includes preventing password reuse, account hijacking, remote access risks and lateral movement, as well as other common attack vectors. This strengthens the security of the IT environment and reduces potential points of vulnerability.

Cross-platform support for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android and other systems ensures consistent and efficient service delivery. Comprehensive and secure remote support Secure, monitored and unattended access options facilitate troubleshooting, updating and administration of servers, workstations, network devices, kiosk systems and other IT resources. All remote sessions are controlled and traceable. Secure remote access – without a VPN Insecure remote access methods and potential attack vectors are minimised by a secure, VPN-free remote access tool. Every session is monitored to ensure transparency, access control and IT security in the long term. Back to BeyondTrust Active Directory (AD) Bridge Use cases Product highlight: Powerful integrations Promoting Zero Trust How AD Bridge works Unified identity management The complexity of identity management is reduced through the use of a centralised, familiar toolset. Digital identities can be managed consistently across Windows, Unix and Linux systems, resulting in uniform access control in heterogeneous IT environments. Auditing and Compliance Audit information is provided to compliance teams in a structured format, whilst group policies are managed centrally. This supports regulatory requirements and ensures that access and security policies are documented in a traceable manner. Enhanced Unix/Linux security Single Sign-On (SSO), file-sharing features and security policies are being enhanced to provide controlled access to non-Windows systems. This significantly strengthens the security of Unix and Linux infrastructures. Back to BeyondTrust
