Funding to Improve Cybersecurity and Prevent Ransomware Attacks

Government agencies and schools have suffered a record-breaking number of ransomware and cyberattacks over the past year. Funding to lower this cyber risk will become available as part of the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan. The plan provides $350 billion dollars in emergency funding for state, local, territorial, and Tribal governments for spending money on everything from sanitation and ventilation to IT hardware, software and connectivity. Millions of dollars in funding from this relief plan are to be used to improve cybersecurity posture.

BeyondTrust Can Help You Respond to the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency

How the University of Utah is Leveraging Just-in-Time Privileged Access Management to Mitigate Risk

Many Universities have diverse user populations. This complex network of users, admins, and accounts requires a complete Privileged Access Management (PAM) solution that protects and manages the many different types of privileged accounts within the Higher Ed system.

That’s why the University of Utah chose BeyondTrust to implement a Just-in-Time Privileged Access Management (JIT PAM) model to enforce true “least privilege.” JIT PAM is a model that ensures users, processes, applications, systems, etc. have “just enough” privileged access when needed, and for the least amount of time necessary.
