BeyondTrust Introduces Identity Security Insights Solution

Revolutionary Solution Sets New Standard in Identity and Access Security

Atlanta, GA – August 2, 2023 – BeyondTrust, the global leader in intelligent identity and access security, has announced the launch of its groundbreaking Identity Security Insights solution. With cyber threats targeting identities and credentials becoming increasingly complex, this innovative solution aims to provide organizations with unmatched visibility and advanced identity-first threat detection capabilities.

Unparalleled Visibility and Threat Detection

Identity Security Insights represents a transformative addition to the BeyondTrust platform, equipping organizations with an advanced intelligence layer that enables them to achieve higher levels of identity and access security. The solution offers a unified view of identities, accounts, cloud entitlements, and privileged access across the entire identity estate.

This comprehensive visibility allows organizations to seamlessly correlate and analyze data from both BeyondTrust‘s products and third-party identity providers, such as Okta, Ping Identity, and Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD), as well as cloud providers like AWS and Azure. By harnessing advanced analytics and intelligence, Identity Security Insights provides real-time visualization of threats, identifies potential attack paths, and offers actionable recommendations to enhance identity hygiene.

Discovering and Remediating Security Risks

Early adopters of Identity Security Insights have quickly identified and resolved security risks where unauthorized users could gain access to sensitive systems and data. These risks include unmanaged admin and over-privileged accounts, potential privilege escalation paths from on-premises to cloud environments, pivot points that attackers could exploit from personal email accounts to corporate admin accounts, opportunities for session hijacking, and other previously undetectable security vulnerabilities that malicious actors could exploit.

Key Features of BeyondTrust‘s Identity Security Insights

The Identity Security Insights Solution includes several key features that empower organizations to strengthen their identity and access security:

Comprehensive Identity & Access Visibility: Gain a unified view of identities and access across the entire estate, including multi-cloud and on-premises environments, providing a holistic understanding of identity-related risks.

Identity Threat Detection: Instantly identify identity-based anomalies, ranked by severity, empowering organizations to detect and proactively respond to potential threats.
