Why BeyondTrust for Identity Security?

1. An Identity Security Leader Across Multiple Categories

Year-after-year, top industry analysts and publications recognize us as a leader spanning critical and emerging identity security subdisciplines:

  • Privileged Access Management (PAM) Leadership: BeyondTrust was recognized as a Leader in the Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for PAM 2024, marking six consecutive years of leadership

  • Privileged Identity Management (PIM) Leadership: BeyondTrust received recognition as a Leader in the 2025 Forrester Wave™: Privileged Identity Management

  • Secrets Management Leadership: BeyondTrust was recognized as a Leader in the 2025 KuppingerCole Enterprise Secrets Management Leadership Compass

  • Cloud Infrastructure Entitlement Management (CIEM) Leadership: BeyondTrust was recognized as a Leader and Fast Mover in GigaOm's 2025 Radar for Cloud Infrastructure Entitlement Management report

The Forrester Wave™: Privileged Identity Management Solutions graph
“BeyondTrust’s exceptional vision centers on an identity-first security strategy that helps organizations predict, discover, prevent, detect, and respond to identity risks in real time. Innovation is well aligned. Its roadmap is solid, featuring simplified privileged identity governance and AI-assisted intelligent access."

—The Forrester Wave™: Privileged Identity Management Solutions, Q3 2025

"BeyondTrust's solutions are particularly suited for enterprises demanding rigorous control over privileged and non-privileged accounts across complex environments. Organizations from sectors such as healthcare, finance, and higher education, which require streamlined identity management and security compliance, will find value in the integrated capabilities of BeyondTrust."

—2025 KuppingerCole Enterprise Secrets Management Leadership Compass

BeyondTrust takes a platform-centric approach to CIEM by integrating Entitle’s advanced CIEM capabilities into its broader Privileged Identity Security platform while incrementally enhancing these features through regular updates and planned innovations.

—Ivan McPhee, Senior Industry Analyst, GigaOm

2. We Offer the Only True Identity Security Platform

BeyondTrust provides the most integrated and complete identity security platform. We not only manage and protect privileged access, but also find and address the escalation pathways—often hidden or indirect—that can give a seemingly low-level account access to privilege.

The BeyondTrust Pathfinder platform offers centralized management and policy, integrated reporting and threat analytics, and cross-domain visibility and administration. It spans:

  • Multicloud, on-premises, and hybrid environments

  • Windows, Mac, and Linux/Unix endpoints

  • DevOps / backend infrastructure

  • Operational technology / IoT

  • Humans (employees, vendors, etc.), applications, machines, and AI agents

  • And much more.

But, unlike other identity security and PAM vendors, BeyondTrust doesn’t force you to start or progress from one place. Customers can roll out a robust set of identity security capabilities all at once, or phase in any set of focused capabilities over time at their own pace.
