- Password Safe increases extensibility to improve security postures and achieve tighter integrations
- Streamline account/asset workflows and account additions without the need for manual input
Atlanta, GA – August 18, 2022 - BeyondTrust, the worldwide leader in intelligent identity and access security, today announced the release of BeyondTrust Password Safe 22.2 and BeyondInsight 22.2. New features in Password Safe improve an organization’s security posture by managing disconnected systems. The new release lays the groundwork for the journey to zero-trust, expands capabilities for adding new service account use cases, improves administrative capabilities for managing dedicated accounts, and utilizes privileged accounts for websites and applications.
Security teams need solutions that secure credentials on accounts that are intermittently connected to the network, as well as managing various IT automation service types or locations beyond assets. If credentials are not updated in conjunction with the managed account, services can fail and impact business processes, creating a greater risk for cyberattacks.
BeyondTrust Password Safe combines privileged password and session management capabilities to discover, manage, and audit all privileged credential activity. It enables control of privileged user accounts, applications, SSH keys, cloud admin accounts, RPA, and more, with a searchable audit trail for compliance and forensics.
BeyondTrust Password Safe adds greater extensibility to help organizations further improve their security posture and have tighter integrations. With support for disconnected account management and propagation targets, security and IT teams can expand and cover more managed assets. The discovery capabilities leverage a distributed network discovery engine to scan, identify, and profile all assets. This categorization allows automated onboarding, and the ability for access policies to self-adjust according to environmental changes.
Password Safe’s Smart Rules automation intelligently organizes assets and accounts, significantly reducing manual effort and improving productivity, with a full audit trail for incident response and compliance. BeyondTrust has simplified customer credential management, helping users manage their complex technology ecosystems with these capabilities:
- Bring intermittently connected systems under centralized management
- Enabling deeper IT automation service account capabilities
- Streamlining the time-to-value on the journey to zero-trust
BeyondInsight is BeyondTrust’s platform for centralized management, reporting, and threat analytics for Privileged Access Management (PAM). It delivers unmatched visibility and control over privileged access activity, simplifies deployment, automates tasks, improves security, and reduces privilege-related risks.
BeyondInsight enhancements improve the user experience by streamlining admin workflows for discovery, account and asset onboarding, and deployment management. The new capabilities improve admin usability and the user experience, with more streamlined workflows for onboarding and discovery scans. This makes it easier to understand an organization’s network, and bring more elements under management.
“Organizations are looking for credential management solutions that are flexible within their environment, and adaptable to their business-critical needs,” said Sam Elliott, Senior Vice President of Product Management at BeyondTrust. “This new release helps them easily integrate privileged password management into their business-critical systems, and do more with less time and fewer resources. Password Safe helps them utilize service accounts with increased automation. It enables them to bring new use cases under centralized management, and gain enhanced visibility into account management activities.”
BeyondTrust’s unique integration hub approach enables security teams to protect their cybersecurity mesh with greater confidence. This includes integrating platforms and applications with Password Safe to securely discover credentials and secure access to more platforms and cloud providers.

- Propagation Targets - Service account management for IT automation use cases
