EC News DeskBeyondTrust, announced integration of BeyondTrust Password Safe, both cloud and traditional on-premises deployments, with SailPoint identity security offerings. This collaboration solves critical customer challenges; identifying and closing gaps in access governance, and eliminating operational inefficiencies associated with the manual management of privileged accounts and permissions. Password Safe provides a natural and desired extension to SailPoint specifically around Privileged Access and Privileged Sessions Governance. Organizations require a unified governance and security solution that enables a single, centralized view of all identities and all access, which must also include privileged accounts.
As organizations are moving to the cloud at a faster pace than ever before, a cloud-first strategy is no longer a future plan; it is a business imperative. As organizations make the transition, identity is the critical key to successful access management and governance. Organizations want out-of-the-box integrations that don’t require additional services to connect. This allows them to focus on building the value of their business, rather than becoming bogged down with complex, costly, and time-consuming integration implementations.
In a time when a single compromised privileged account can result in significant damage to an organization’s operations and reputation, Access Governance around privileged access is critical to an organization’s overall security posture. The combined BeyondTrust Password Safe and SailPoint Identity Security Cloud provides a hyper-scalable approach to managing privileged access for many vital business processes; including access requests, access certifications, provisioning, search and analytics, and more.
Access governance enabled through the BeyondTrust PAM solution addresses a mandate for many organizations, large and small. Automation via provisioning and access requests eliminates tedious and time-consuming manual tasks, allowing admins to focus on more productive projects, while eliminating the risk associated with human errors and delays.
“We are so thrilled to be the first and only PAM vendor integrated and certified with SailPoint, and that is a testament to our partnership with SailPoint, and BeyondTrust’s dedication to our mutual customers and technology innovation,” said David Manks, Vice President of Global Strategic Alliances at BeyondTrust. “With identity at the heart of security, it is more important than ever that technology leaders work together to build a certified and trusted ecosystem, helping our customers achieve their security goals.”
The new BeyondTrust Password Safe and SailPoint integration offers customers the following benefits:
- A deep level of granularity for PAM access governance and compliance
- Augment PAM information into existing IdentityNow business processes, including access request, access certification, provisioning, search and analytics
- Improved user experience, by providing a singled, centralized, business user-friendly view into all identities including privileged accounts within SailPoint Identity Security Cloud
- Support for BeyondTrust Password Safe, for both cloud and on-premises deployments
- Benefit from SailPoint AI and machine learning (ML) recommendations for PAM entitlements within Certification campaigns and Access Requests
“Our partnership with BeyondTrust enables us to better serve clients as they navigate some of the most complex security challenges,” says Ahmed Shah, senior vice president of strategic alliances and partnerships at Optiv. “BeyondTrust’s PAM Integration is vital to an overall security model that encompasses security privileged and non-privileged identities to enable a Zero Trust approach.”
