BeyondTrust has one of the longest histories in privileged access management, tracing its roots back to 1985. The company’s platform covers three pillars: privileged remote access, endpoint privilege management, and privileged password/secrets management.
Privileged Remote Access replaces traditional VPNs for vendors and IT staff who need access to internal systems. It provides session monitoring, just-in-time access, and granular controls — ensuring that external contractors can’t roam freely across the network.
Endpoint Privilege Management removes admin rights from Windows, Mac, and Linux endpoints. Instead of giving users blanket local admin, the platform elevates specific applications based on policy — reducing the attack surface without creating IT support headaches.
Password Safe and DevOps Secrets Safe discover, vault, and rotate privileged credentials across the enterprise. The platforms handle everything from Active Directory admin accounts to database passwords to API keys used in automated workflows. BeyondTrust serves over 20,000 customers including 75% of the Fortune 100, and Gartner has named it a PAM leader for seven consecutive years.
