True Privilege™: BeyondTrust Sets New Standard for Privileged Access and Identity Security

True Privilege™ is BeyondTrust’s industry-leading capability for providing a complete view of all the access paths an identity has, including intended and unintended privileges. It goes beyond traditional views of permissions to encompass hidden risks that attackers can exploit.

While least privilege focuses on limiting access rights to only what a user or account needs (often applied to administrator roles), True Privilege provides visibility into the inherent risk of every identity across the environment. Instead of just controlling access, it exposes the actual privilege pathways and risks attackers could exploit.

Least privilege limits access through policies, but doesn’t expose hidden risks. True Privilege extends beyond admins to all identities, providing visibility into the actual risk each identity introduces.

Identity security is a security discipline focused on protecting organizations from modern identity-related threats. It involves securing the growing number of accounts, privileges, and entitlements associated with each identity across cloud, SaaS, and hybrid environments to reduce the overall identity attack surface.

Because traditional PAM is applied in silos, attackers exploit overlooked paths to privilege. True Privilege secures the full identity attack surface, closing gaps that led to 90% of organizations experiencing identity-related breaches last year.

Privileged Access Management is a core component of identity security. Its primary goal is to reduce risk by implementing the principle of least privilege, ensuring users have only the access they need to perform their roles.

PAM enforces access controls, but True Privilege adds the missing layer of visibility. It shows the real risks across all identities and privilege paths, not just admin accounts.

Yes. Zero Trust, a network security framework based on the principle of "never trust, always verify", assumes no user or device can be trusted by default. True Privilege provides a tactical view of the attack pathways that could be exploited should an identity become compromised, providing critical insights into the blast radius of an attack.
