What is secure remote access?

Secure remote access is a collection of security processes and solutions aimed at preventing unwanted access to a company's digital assets and the theft of critical data. These processes, while secure, should not impede access to systems by employees and vendors.

Our Remote Access system enables organizations to apply least privilege and robust audit controls to all remote access required by employees, vendors, and service desks. Guarantee adoption with a system that actually lets users do their jobs faster and easier than they do today.

Secure Remote Access for Employees and Vendors

Traditional remote access methods, such as RDP, Virtual Private Networks, and legacy remote desktop tools lack granular access management controls. These processes enable easy exploits via stolen credentials and session hijacking. Extending remote access to your vendors makes matters even worse.

BeyondTrust Secure Remote Access enables organizations to apply least privilege and audit controls to all remote access from employees, vendors, and service desks. Secure Remote Access consists of two solutions: Privileged Remote Access and Remote Support.

Privileged Remote Access Use Cases

BeyondTrust Privileged Remote Access controls, manages, and audits remote privileged access to critical IT systems and cloud infrastructure by authorized employees and third-party vendors. No VPN required.

Common use cases include:

VPN Alternative for Privileged Access

Define, enforce, and control the level of access users have without relying on the corporate VPN—or giving away free access.

Streamlining Privileged Session Management

Standardize to a more secure and complete privileged session management solution that controls the access to and from any platform in any environment.

Securing Advanced Web Access

Give remote workers access to the tools and resource they need by securing web/thick applications.

Password Management and Vault Access

Discover, manage, and rotate privileged credentials for Windows platforms and inject those credentials on-demand.

"With BeyondTrust Privileged Access, we could tighten our control over what privileged users could and could not do, as well as audit their actions. It’s a far superior approach than just giving them unrestricted VPN access.”
