December 2015 by Marc Jacob
BeyondTrustR announced that it is
collaborating with SailPoint as an inaugural member of its Identity+
Alliance. Designed to accelerate and enhance integration with operational
and security infrastructures, SailPoint has opened its Identity Governance
and Administration platform, IdentityIQT, to select technology partners,
including BeyondTrust.
BeyondTrust will integrate its PowerBroker Privileged Account Management
(PAM) platform <https://www.beyondtrust.com/product...>
,
including Retina Vulnerability Management technology
with IdentityIQ,
providing customers with a powerful best-of-breed solution that will:
* Increase visibility into user, application and asset interaction
with behavioral analytics to track potential malicious activity from insider
and external threats
* Enhance efficiency around regulatory compliance reporting by
providing insight into identity activities and account utilization
* Provide visibility into provisioning applications to minimize risk
and potential breaches
"Companies continue to seek the ability to answer the fundamental questions
of ’who you are’, ’what you have access to’, and ’how that access is being
used’ as it relates to anyone who comes on to their network, be it
employees, contractors or partners," said Kevin Hickey, President and CEO,
BeyondTrust. "By integrating the most advanced Privileged Account Management
system with SailPoint’s market-leading IAM platform, enterprises will now
have the ability to confidently answer those questions with far greater
levels of operational efficiency and confidence."
According to the recent (October 8, 2015) report from Gartner, "Twelve Best
Practices for Privileged Access Management" (authored by Anmol Singh
and Felix Gaehtgens), it was emphasized that organizations should "establish
privileged access governance by extending identity governance controls, such
as automated provisioning, entitlements cataloguing and access
certification, to privileged accounts and administrator access."
BeyondTrust, who is mentioned in the report, believes this will be an
important differentiator for SailPoint and BeyondTrust customers.
