“Having BeyondTrust products for so many aspects of our business, all centralized into Pathfinder, has allowed us to simplify identity security. It's been great for us to have one provider for almost anything we want to do privilege-wise.”

"The biggest thing that BeyondTrust enables for our team is the ability to connect any individual—whether it be a researcher or vendor—to any particular product at any time, through one system, and still enforce all of the security requirements that the university, state, and federal government have.

By fusing cross-domain visibility, management, and governance of identities, entitlements, and access into one AI-driven system, the BeyondTrust Pathfinder Platform uniquely empowers organizations to:

  • Eliminate hidden risks and break down siloes across your endpoints, servers, clouds, IdPs, SaaS, and databases
  • Implement just-in-time (JIT) access and enforce zero standing privilege (ZSP) and least privilege principles everywhere
  • Respond to threats, including active attacks, with speed and precision
  • Enhance operational efficiency through streamlined workflows, improved admin and end-user productivity, simplified auditing, and powerful integration synergies
  • Enact zero standing privilege controls to safely deploy agentic AI and automation at scale, enabling innovation without compromising security or compliance.

Don't Miss a Thing—Gain Holistic Visibility into Identities and Paths to Privilege.

Shadow identities, excessive entitlements, and privileged access blind spots create security gaps that attackers exploit. Without full visibility into human and non-human identities—including AI agents— threats go undetected until it’s too late.

Identity Security Insights cuts through the noise, correlating data from BeyondTrust and third-party solutions to provide a single, unified view of all identities, accounts, elevated access, and Paths to Privilege. By detecting anomalous activity and compromised credentials in real time, you can proactively respond to threats—before they escalate. Plus, with built-in risk ratings and actionable recommendations, you can continuously reduce exposure and strengthen security posture.

Privileged Credentials are a Hacker’s Best Friend. Lock Them Down.

Privileged credentials are the ultimate prize for attackers, and the biggest risk for businesses. Without centralized control, unmanaged credentials, overprivileged accounts, and hardcoded secrets create a playground for breaches, insider threats, and compliance failures.

Password Safe eliminates credential chaos by combining privileged passwords, secrets, workforce passwords, and session management in one seamless solution. Automatically discover, vault, and manage every privileged credential—both human and non-human—from traditional privileged accounts and cloud admin accounts to DevOps secrets and SSH keys. Enforce just-in-time access with adaptive controls, ensuring users only have privileges when they need them.

Password Safe monitors and records privileged sessions in real-time, providing the ability to pinpoint and pause or terminate suspicious activity before it escalates. Plus, with a fully searchable audit trail, you’ll meet compliance requirements with zero guesswork—because control over credentials means control over security.

Provide Seamless, Secure Access to Any Resource, Anywhere.

Providing access at the speed of business, while maintaining operational security and adhering to complex security policies is increasingly difficult. How do you enable seamless access without exposing critical assets to threats?

Privileged Remote Access gives IT teams automated, rule-based access provisioning without the need for manual IT intervention or VPN setups—reducing operational friction. Securely connect employees, contractors, and vendors to critical systems from anywhere, while enforcing least privilege access at every step.

Experience Unmatched Cybersecurity Visibility and Control

Patented session monitoring technology provides video recordings of every access session, with the power to pause or terminate suspicious activity instantly. Benefit from activity logs enriched with detailed metadata that provide unparalleled oversight, enabling you to confidently address audits.

Remotely accessing resources is seamless and secure with Privileged Remote Access.

Too Many Cloud Permissions. Not Enough Control. Fix That.

Cloud permissions are a ticking time bomb when left unchecked. Overprivileged users, excessive entitlements, limited access reviews, and manual access approvals create security gaps attackers love to exploit. Meanwhile, IT teams are drowning in permission requests, slowing productivity.

Entitle automates cloud permissions management, cutting through complexity with just-in-time access controls that minimize risk—without creating IT bottlenecks. Empower users with self-service access requests, permission bundling, and 100+ integrations to eliminate manual approval chaos.

The result? A smaller attack surface, a lighter IT workload, and secure, hassle-free access that keeps business moving—without compromise.

Implement Least Privilege Without Sacrificing Productivity.

Excessive endpoint privileges create unnecessary security risks. A single click, exploited application, or overprivileged user can give attackers the foothold they need to execute malware, ransomware, or unauthorized changes. However, simply removing all privileges can frustrate users and disrupt productivity.

Endpoint Privilege Management enforces true least privilege security without breaking workflows. It grants privileges only as needed, ensuring seamless productivity, while keeping threats out.

Stop attackers before they act, with advanced application control, allow-lists, and prebuilt policy templates that block malicious scripts, infected email attachments, and unauthorized executables. Move beyond the limitations of sudo in Linux environments, with centralized policy management, file integrity monitoring, and real-time oversight.

Because endpoints shouldn’t be the weakest link—they should be your first line of defense.

Slow Remote Support Costs You Time. Insecure Support Costs You More.

Every minute of an outage, disruption, or system failure costs your organization money in lost time, budgetary strain, and even missed revenue or fees. But traditional remote support tools are either too slow, too limited, or too insecure—forcing help desk teams to juggle multiple solutions just to keep up with the growing needs of a business. Unattended devices, unpatched systems, and inefficient workflows create security gaps for the entire organization, as well as frustration for IT teams.

Remote Support empowers your help desk team to fix any device, on any platform, fast—without compromising security. Get seamless attended and unattended access, leverage key service desk integrations, and resolve issues without the complexity of VPNs.

With enterprise-grade security features built in, including session monitoring, least privilege controls, and secure authentication, you can support users with confidence—but without opening doors for attackers.

Because help desks should solve problems, not create security risks.

Stop the Siloed Chaos. Extend AD Everywhere.

Managing Unix and Linux authentication separately from Active Directory (AD) is a security and administrative nightmare. Inconsistent policies, siloed identities, and the need for multiple credential entries create compliance risks, user friction, and unnecessary complexity.

Active Directory Bridge extends Microsoft AD’s Kerberos authentication and single sign-on (SSO) to Unix and Linux environments, and enables users to log in seamlessly with their AD credentials.

Extend Group Policy to non-Windows systems for consistent, centralized configuration management, eliminating gaps and reducing risk. No more credential reentry, no more silos—just unified, secure access across every system.

Because authentication should be seamless, and security should be consistent.
