BeyondTrust Privileged Access Management Platform

I just realized it has been a long while since I last blogged. Have been super busy with new direction with the company and making customers happy.

Today, I tried to source for a PAM (Privileged Access Management) solution for my customer who has his infrastructure on AWS. As such, an appliance-based PAM solution does not make sense.

Then I came across BeyondTrust. Not totally new to me since I have friends working there. But there has been great changes in 2018.

2018 was a game-changing year for the Privileged Access Management market. Lieberman, Avecto and BeyondTrust were all acquired by Bomgar and, in 2019, we will launch the new BeyondTrust. Bringing together these best-of-breed technologies allows us to deliver the most comprehensive PAM solution to date.

Wow! 4-in-1!

Hope to do some businesses with BeyondTrust!

PAM ranking in Kuppercole

During meet-up with customers, when we introduce One Identity PAM (either the older TPAM or the newer SafeGuard), we'll more than likely be directed to this following ranking. The one below is from Kuppercole. Some customers use Gartner.

In any case, One Identity ranking for PAM is not fantastic, especially for SafeGuard as it is a total rewrite. It is primarily due to the fact that the product line for TPAM is aging. With SafeGuard, you can add in REST, Analytics and more importantly, sexy UI. (Have you used TPAM before? Oh man, the UI is shitty! But honestly, it works like a charm!)

Interestingly, One Identity bought Balabit (https://www.balabit.com/) few months ago. The session recording feature in SafeGuard is OEM from Balabit. With Balabit under the umbrella of One Identity, more features from Balabit will be added to SafeGuard. The most exciting one will be Privileged Account Analytics.

Let's see how will the ranking be in a year's time! :)
