BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management vs. Admin By Request Endpoint Privilege Management

Optimize the administration of user permissions by minimizing excessive access while simultaneously empowering rights for Windows, Mac, Unix, Linux, and an array of network devices, all while ensuring that employee productivity remains intact. Our approach has been successfully implemented across over 50 million endpoints, guaranteeing a rapid deployment that provides immediate benefits. BeyondTrust offers both on-premise and cloud-based alternatives, enabling organizations to effectively eliminate administrative rights without hindering user efficiency or increasing service desk requests. Unix and Linux systems are particularly vulnerable to both external threats and internal attacks, a situation that extends to connected devices such as IoT, ICS, and SCADA systems. When attackers gain root or elevated privileges, they can operate stealthily while accessing sensitive data and systems. BeyondTrust Privilege Management for Unix & Linux is recognized as a top-tier, enterprise-grade solution aimed at supporting security and IT teams in achieving compliance and protecting vital assets. This holistic strategy not only bolsters security but also promotes a sense of accountability within organizations, reinforcing the importance of vigilance in cybersecurity. By addressing privilege management comprehensively, businesses can better safeguard their environments against evolving threats.

Admin By Request EPM lets users elevate only what a task needs, without keeping local admin rights switched on permanently. For longer work there's a time-limited Admin Session, and for a one-off there's Run As Admin, which elevates a single application and nothing else. Approvals go through the portal, mobile app, or API, and software you already trust can be waved through automatically with pre-approval and AI and Machine Learning auto-approval. Because privileges are set per user or group, a developer, an office worker, and an outside contractor each get an approach that suits them. It covers Windows, macOS, and Linux, comes with auditing and inventory as standard, and needs no extra infrastructure to run.
