Beyond Trust

BeyondTrust is a globally leading provider of solutions for Privileged Access Management (PAM) and Endpoint Privilege Management (EPM). Headquartered in Atlanta, USA, BeyondTrust helps organizations effectively secure privileged accounts, access, and applications – in classic IT infrastructures as well as in hybrid and cloud-based environments.

BeyondTrust's portfolio was built through the integration of leading specialized solutions. These include, among others, Bomgar, known for secure remote access and remote support, as well as Avecto, a pioneer in privilege elevation and application control. Through these acquisitions, BeyondTrust today combines best-of-breed functionality in a consistent solution portfolio.

The BeyondTrust portfolio combines several proven security components in a modular architecture. Organizations can use it to centrally manage and secure privileged access, remote connections, local administrator rights, privileged passwords, and cloud entitlements.

The platform is well suited for organizations that want to align their security architecture with the least-privilege principle, control privileged accounts, and implement zero-trust strategies across IT, cloud, and OT environments.

• Privileged Remote Access (PRA) – secure access for administrators and service providers

Secure remote access for internal administrators and external service providers without a VPN, with complete logging and session monitoring. BeyondTrust is a leader in segmenting privileged access – at the application level, user-based, and context-dependent.

• Remote Support – secure, audit-ready support processes

BeyondTrust Remote Support is an enterprise-grade support solution for IT and service organizations. It supports nearly all platforms – from classic desktops to mobile devices, servers, specialized environments, and industrial systems. 

The solution offers extensive audit functions and can be integrated into ITSM systems. Support activities can be centrally managed, documented, and traced. This allows BeyondTrust Remote Support to improve both support efficiency and the security and compliance of remote maintenance processes

• Endpoint Privilege Management (EPM)  – reducing local administrator rights

With BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management, organizations can systematically reduce local administrator rights on Windows, macOS, and Linux endpoints. The goal is to eliminate local admin rights without limiting user productivity. 

The solution combines least-privilege enforcement, application control, application whitelisting, and policy management. Users receive only the rights they need for their tasks – temporarily, in a controlled way, and based on context. Endpoint Privilege Management is especially effective in reducing malware risks, misuse of local admin rights, and lateral movement within corporate networks.

• Password Safe (PS) – centrally managing privileged passwords

BeyondTrust Password Safe helps organizations automate the management of privileged accounts and credentials. Passwords can be securely managed, rotated, and provisioned in a controlled manner. Approval processes, just-in-time access, and complete session control ensure that privileged permissions are not permanently available but can only be used when actually needed. This allows BeyondTrust Password Safe to reduce risks associated with shared admin accounts, static passwords, and uncontrolled privileged access.

• Cloud Infrastructure Entitlement Management (CIEM) – controlling cloud entitlements

BeyondTrust also helps organizations control privileged activities in cloud environments such as AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform. Cloud Infrastructure Entitlement Management creates transparency over identities, entitlements, and access paths in cloud-native infrastructures. Organizations can identify excessive permissions, reduce risk, and control cloud access more precisely. Especially in dynamic cloud environments, this is an important building block for consistently implementing least privilege, governance, and security.

BeyondTrust is particularly well suited for organizations that want to consistently secure privileged access, remote access, and local administrator rights. The solutions are used wherever critical systems, sensitive data, or security-relevant applications need to be protected.

BeyondTrust protects organizations against the misuse of privileged access – whether by internal administrators, external service providers, or malware. Deployment typically begins with Privileged Access Management (PAM): Critical systems such as servers, firewalls, or databases become accessible only through controlled, monitored, and logged access. Just-in-time access and session recording provide maximum transparency and control.

Typical use cases include:

• introducing or modernizing Privileged Access Management
• securing privileged accounts and administrator access
• controlled remote access for internal administrators
• secure access for external service providers and support partners
• remote support with complete logging
• reducing local administrator rights on endpoint devices
• implementing least-privilege concepts
• introducing just-in-time access
• session recording and audit-proof traceability
• application control and whitelisting
• protecting Windows, macOS, and Linux endpoints
• controlling privileged access in cloud environments
• supporting zero-trust strategies
• securing IT, OT, and hybrid infrastructures

Privileged access is among the most critical risk factors in enterprise security. Organizations must be able to trace at all times who is accessing which systems, what actions were performed, and whether that access was approved, appropriate, and compliant.

BeyondTrust helps organizations control, log, and make privileged activities traceable in an audit-proof way. This makes it easier to efficiently meet requirements arising from internal policies, audits, and regulatory mandates.

BeyondTrust helps with, among other things:

• controlling and logging privileged access
• session recording for administrator and service provider access
• enforcing the least-privilege principle
• reducing local administrator rights
• managing and rotating privileged passwords
• just-in-time access for sensitive systems
• traceability of remote support activities
• controlling external service provider access
• securing cloud entitlements
• reducing risks from over-privileged accounts

This makes BeyondTrust particularly well suited for organizations with high requirements for compliance and regulatory requirements, for example in financial services, energy supply, manufacturing, healthcare, the public sector, or other regulated industries.

BeyondTrust stands out through its strong specialization in Privileged Access Management, Endpoint Privilege Management, and secure remote access and support. While many vendors cover only individual areas such as password management, session recording, or endpoint privilege management, BeyondTrust combines these disciplines into one modular, practice-oriented solution portfolio.

A key differentiator lies in the consistent implementation of the least-privilege principle. BeyondTrust not only helps organizations manage privileged accounts but also permanently reduces unnecessary permissions. Local administrator rights on Windows, macOS, and Linux endpoints can be specifically removed and replaced with controlled, temporary rights. This significantly reduces the attack surface without restricting employees or administrators in their daily work.

Another differentiating factor is the strong combination of Privileged Access Management and secure remote access. BeyondTrust enables privileged access for internal administrators, external service providers, and support partners without relying on a classic VPN. Access is controlled based on context, recorded, and documented in an audit-proof way. This is particularly relevant for organizations that want to make service provider access, maintenance access, or support processes more secure and traceable.

BeyondTrust also offers clear added value in endpoint security. With Endpoint Privilege Management, application control, privilege elevation, script control, and policy management can be combined. Organizations can define which applications may run, when elevated rights are granted, and under which conditions certain actions are blocked or allowed. This not only reduces malware risk but also supports the implementation of zero-trust and least-privilege strategies.

BeyondTrust offers modular and scalable licensing models. Depending on the solution, licensing is based on, for example, users, assets, target systems, or functional modules. Licenses are typically provided as a subscription and are also available in smaller units.

The modular structure allows organizations to start with individual use cases – such as Privileged Remote Access, Remote Support, or Endpoint Privilege Management – and expand the solution step by step later on.

Organizations can run BeyondTrust solutions on-premises, as SaaS from the cloud, or in hybrid architectures. This allows the deployment model to be adapted to security requirements, regulatory mandates, existing infrastructure, and cloud strategy.

This flexibility is especially important for organizations with critical systems, regulated environments, or distributed IT landscapes. BeyondTrust can be integrated into existing ITSM, security, directory service, cloud, and monitoring systems.

Operation as a managed service is also available through IPG. In this case, IPG takes on implementation, configuration, operation, monitoring, patch management, and support of the BeyondTrust environment.
