BeyondTrust makes security insights available

August 4, 2023

BeyondTrust recently announced the general availability of its Identity Security Insights solution. With the escalating complexity of cyber threats targeting identities and credentials, the solution sets a new standard in securing both human and non-human identities, providing organisations with visibility and advanced identity-first threat detection capabilities.

Identity Security Insights represents an addition to the BeyondTrust platform, providing an advanced intelligence layer to empower organisations to achieve new 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, enabling organisations to correlate data from both BeyondTrust’s products and third-party identity providers such as Okta, Ping Identity and Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD).

By harnessing analytics and intelligence, Identity Security Insights provides real-time visualisation of threats, illuminates potential attack paths and offers smart, actionable recommendations to enhance identity hygiene.

“Identity Security Insights completely revolutionises the way organisations approach identity security, providing an unprecedented level of visibility, threat detection, and actionable insights that haven’t been available to date,” explained Marc Maiffret, CTO of BeyondTrust. “We focus on securing the privileges and access that make compromised identities dangerous. By empowering organisations to proactively protect their identities, we’re continuing to spearhead advancements in cybersecurity that safeguard critical assets in today’s evolving threat landscape.”

According to the company, early adopters of the solution have discovered and remediated security risks where unauthorised users could gain access to sensitive systems and data including unmanaged admin and over-privileged accountsm potential on-premises to cloud privilege escalation paths, pivot points that attackers could use to go from personal email accounts to corporate admin accounts and more.
