Ecosystem
The BeyondTrust ecosystem creates a least privilege environment within enterprises to reduce the risk of insider threats. Monitoring and alerts, reporting, and management tools siphon through web and code based interfaces to centrally control requested network tasks. These tasks are then deployed across all end points: cloud, virtual, servers, databases, desktops, and mobile.
Server
In a secure and compliant server environment, end users are not entitled to the root password or even superuser status because organizations can no longer tolerate the security risks posed by intentional, accidental or indirect misuse of privileges.
However, organizations need to provide the admins of the plethora of heterogeneous servers across the enterprise with necessary privileges within specified guidelines to do their job safely. Without a viable least privilege solution the most common responses to this problem include sharing the root password, manually managing policy creation and change across each individual account, or being forced to implement inefficient and insecure alternatives.
Desktop
With technology what it is, the term “desktop” is synonymous for a computer (be it mobile or stationary) that operates with Microsoft Windows. With this added flexibility, users are now able to access these computers both in office and home settings. 
People are known to behave differently in each of these environments, and the lines between professional and personal lives are blurred. Those company assets must be protected in all situations, but how? The key answer is to implement a least privilege model and fix the glaring gaps Windows exposes is privileged identity management.
Virtual
Protecting virtual environments is a 
difficult and tedious task. On one hand, privileges in this setting must be granularly managed to ensure complete security. On the other hand, it takes less time and energy to allow users to operate with unmanaged privileges in virtualized datacenter environments. Fortunately there is an answer to this double-edged question, and it allows for the risks in said environment to be mitigated.
Cloud
Operating in the cloud is the latest trend in the technology world. Whether it’s the private or public cloud, it’s where we are heading. Just because information and applications are available in such a convenient way does not mean that boundaries should be let down to make all things convenient. The principle of least privilege applies here more than ever before.
Infrastructure
Applications provide the engine to user productivity while the information stored in databases and on personal desktops provides the fuel. Technology is getting twice as fast (at half the price) every 18 months or so, and while ideally replacing IT infrastructure frequently, budget restraints make this impossible. Legacy applications are a reality in every enterprise, but unfortunately the privileges required to run them leave gaping security holes. The answer, obviously, is not to take away those privileges, but to allow users to run them based on what is required for their jobs.
