- BeyondTrust has the only remote support solution to achieve FIPS 140-2 Level 2 validation.

Atlanta, GA – July 8, 2019 – BeyondTrust, the worldwide leader in Privileged Access Management, today announced it has been awarded a Level 2 Federal Information Processing Standards Publication (FIPS) 140-2 validation for its remote support B300 appliance. This recertification makes the B300 FIPS appliance the only remote support solution to achieve FIPS 140-2 Level 2 validation. BeyondTrust ensures customer data remains safe from the most sophisticated methods of intrusion.
Government agency systems throughout the world hold highly confidential information that needs strong protection, to ensure it never risks falling into the wrong hands. Due to the increasing sophistication of state actors and others intent on breaching defenses and exploiting weaknesses in computer systems and networks, data and network security remains a higher priority in the government sector. This validation further enables BeyondTrust’s customers with the most secure and dependable remote support solution.
Government agencies (and private sector organizations that support government agencies) can have confidence that BeyondTrust Remote Support has met the rigorous requirements of FIPS 140-2 Level 2. Organizations that deploy the updated BeyondTrust Remote Support FIPS appliance can meet these unique compliance requirements.
