In October 2018, Bomgar acquired BeyondTrust to strengthen its leading secure access solutions. These two ITsec giants merge to ensure the largest portfolio of software for the defense and secure management of corporate networks.
Nowadays, both firms operate under the name of BeyondTrust. Consequently, customers can deploy the most complete pack of products on privileged credential management, remote access sessions and end-point; as well as scalable vulnerability solutions in IO environments, cloud, network devices, servers and more.
Here, we outline the key points of this alliance and its benefits for small, medium and large companies.
BeyondTrust
An adequate Privileged Access Management (PAM) can solve most security holes in vertical enterprises. In this regard, BeyondTrust offers unified resources to avoid risky situations such as stolen credentials, excessive management rights on endpoints, and insecure remote access paths.
Similarly, BeyondTrust has flexible designs that simplify the work of users. At the same time, its intelligent features speed up software implementation time, improve IT staff productivity, avoid the accumulation of dark data and maximize security investments.
Better Secure Access Solutions
BeyondTrust protects corporate digital assets with comprehensive tools that detect and prevent security breaches. As a result, these solutions control the access practices of all types of users, especially those with special permissions, suppliers and other external collaborators.
In the same way, IT staff can reduce risks and simplify privileged access management implementations.
On the other hand, it promotes the implementation of compliance protocols over system modifications; and guarantees the consolidation of costs throughout the organization.
BeyondTrust solutions are classified as:
BeyondTrust para Privileged Access Management (PAM)
This Gartner leader in PAM solutions enables the execution of holistic strategies for the secure usage of all accesses at the administrator level.

In the same way, secure access integrations also monitor each user’s activities in real time; as well as clean embedded scripts, files, and passwords to close any gateway to the most vital platforms. On the other hand, it offers a module for key rotation and access scheduling based on context (device, location, date and time).
-
Endpoint privilege management
Reduce the risks of privilege abuse on Microsoft Windows, Windows servers, macOS, Unix, Linux, IoT, and another devices. With this solution, you can increase administrator rights on required applications; while restricting access to other areas of the systems and eliminating shared credentials without interfering with the work of developers.
Besides, you can grant permissions only to the most reliable software and scripts when working inside your servers. As a result, this ensures the compliance and health of the entire digital infrastructure.
-
Privileged remote access
If you have a remote team, it is essential to monitor its activities in real time to prevent information theft and malicious modifications, as well as SLA non-compliance.
