Zero Trust Solutions with PAM & Identity Security

BeyondTrust Identity Security and Privileged Access Management (PAM) solutions help enable NIST's seven core tenets of zero trust by working relentlessly to identify and secure every privileged user (human, machine, AI agent, employee, vendor), asset, and session across your digital estate. Control the who, what, when, why, and where of access.

Implement zero trust security controls to reduce your attack surface, minimize threat windows, and improve protection against ransomware, malware, advanced persistent threats, insider threats, and more.

• Enforce context-aware, least privilege control for all access
• Implement continuous verification
• Isolate, monitor, manage, and audit privileged sessions
• Prevent lateral movement and privilege escalation attacks

Gain cross-domain visibility for your entire IT estate

BeyondTrust Identity Security Insights® offers a centralized view of access escalation pathways, revealing the True Privilege™ of every human and non-human identity. Organizations can better enforce zero trust practices by understanding how identities obtain and use privilege across the entire IT estate.

• Provides a cross-domain view of your identities with the True Privilege graph, which visualizes hidden connections between accounts, privileges, and configurations and illuminates areas where attackers could take advantage of implicit trust relationships.
• Reveals blind spots where zero trust is not enforced, such as shadow identities, excessive entitlements, and other unintended escalation paths.
• Offers actionable remediations to harden identity security posture and better adhere to zero trust principles.

Ensure only the correct identity on the correct endpoint has access

BeyondTrust Password Safe® is a privileged credential management solution that discovers, onboards, and manages all privileged accounts and credentials (human, application, and machine), consistently enforcing password security best practices.

• Illuminates shadow IT and access blind spots. Discovers, intelligently groups, and onboards all privileged identities, accounts, and assets.

• Enforces adaptive access controls, approving or disallowing access requests just-in-time based on context. Terminates or suspends sessions based on user behavior, inappropriate activity, or changes in context and risk.

• Protects and manages all privileged credentials and secrets across on-premises and cloud resources.

• Eliminates shared accounts to ensure clear oversight and auditability into user activities performed by each identity and their associated accounts.

• Eradicates embedded passwords in IoT and other devices, applications, scripts, and DevOps tools. Instead, these are replaced with secure API calls or management for dynamic secrets.

Implement ephemeral authorization based on context

BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management combines least privilege management and application control to minimize the endpoint attack surface and eliminate unwanted lateral movement. Protect Windows, macOS, and Linux systems, network devices, IoT, OT, ICS systems, and virtual machines from known and unknown threats.

• Removes admin rights for all users, eliminating privileged accounts on managed systems.

• Advances toward a zero-standing privilege (ZSP) state by dynamically elevating privileges just-in-time for processes and applications.

• Enforces separation of duties and privilege separation to limit the privileges associated with any account or process.

• Applies advanced application control and enforces least privilege across all applications, web browsers, systems, and other resources.

Harden remote access pathways and prevent unwanted lateral movement

A central component of zero trust involves segmenting access and isolating various assets, resources, and users to restrict lateral movement potential.

BeyondTrust Privileged Remote Access:

• Implements a secured jump server with multi-factor authentication, adaptive authorization, and session monitoring for administrator consoles. This also applies to access that crosses trusted network zones.

• Enforces boundaries between development, test, and production systems for SecDevOps security best practices.

• Provides access to web pages, such as the Azure, Microsoft 365, etc., through a locked-down and embedded Chromium browser.

• Provides application-level microsegmentation that prevents users from executing applications and other resources they are not authorized to access.

Privileged Remote Access also extends PAM best practices to vendor and internal remote privileged access. The solution provides the granular, least privilege controls that are impractical with VPNs and many other commonly used remote access technologies.

• Applies least privilege and robust audit controls to all remote access for employees, vendors, contractors, and service desk personnel.
• Provides MFA, including per-session MFA, capabilities for the most sensitive sessions.

• Manages and auto-injects credentials into remote sessions so the end user never sees or has knowledge of them for appropriate usage.

Ensure no privileged activity eludes oversight

BeyondTrust Privileged Access Management (PAM) solutions provide session monitoring and management over every privileged session: human, machine, employee, or vendor.

• Documents all privileged actions performed via on-screen video recording and keystroke logging, and provides a searchable session replay option.

• Triggers alerts and workflows based on anomalous behavior, including unusual access locations, inappropriate commands, or other attributes that could be indicators of compromise.

• Applies file integrity monitoring and command filtering to further protect Unix and Linux systems against undesirable or unauthorized changes and commands.

• Provides the ability to pause or terminate sessions via manual intervention or automation by using policies based on acceptable user behavior.
