Unmatched Privileged Endpoint Security for Windows & Mac

BeyondTrust Privilege Management for Windows & Mac pairs powerful least privilege management and application control capabilities to provide preventative endpoint security. Implement zero trust controls and benefit from advanced protection against lateral movement, ransomware, malware, and insider threats.

Enable Zero Trust Security

Remove admin rights, enforce least privilege, and put a stop to open-ended privileged access across Windows desktops and servers & macOS systems. Dynamically elevate privileges for applications—not users, just-in-time. The BeyondTrust approach improves security and reduces errors, while boosting admin and end-user productivity.

Stop Malware, Ransomware, Phishing Attacks, & Fileless Threats

Drastically reduce the cyberattack surface and protect against lateral movement. Block malware from executing on an endpoint, prevent email-based threats, and derail advanced living-off-the land attacks that utilize typical business apps.

Meet Compliance & Cyber Insurance Requirements
