streamline lifecycle management of privileged accounts
The integration of BeyondTrust’s Privileged Access Management Platform
with SailPoint IdentityIQ enables enterprises to successfully track, manage
and secure all identities across their environment.

eyondTrust, a worldwide leader in
Privileged Access Management, has
Joe Gottlieb, SVP, Strategy and Business
Development at SailPoint.
announced that the BeyondTrust Privileged
Access Management (PAM) Platform has
been recertified to interoperate with
the most current versions of SailPoint
IdentityIQ, enabling joint customers
to continue and extend their secure
management of both privileged and non-
privileged accounts.
The integrated solution combines
BeyondTrust PasswordSafe’s strong
controls for privileged accounts, including
credential vaulting, credential rotation,
session monitoring, session control
and session record/playback, with
SailPoint’s life cycle management of
identity governance, including account
and entitlement provisioning and
deprovisioning, access request approvals
and workflow, access certification and
separation of duties policy enforcement.
The new SailPoint Certified capability
leverages the System for Cross-domain
Identity Management (SCIM) API built
into the SailPoint IdentityIQ PAM Module,
allowing privileged account vaults and
associated entitlements to be visible
and managed throughout the identity
governance process.
This allows the automated provisioning
of privileged accounts to new end-users that
require them based on their job function,
group membership or business role, and
allows managers to recertify or remove
privileged accounts on a periodic and/or
event-driven basis.
Password Safe provides privileged
password management and privileged
session management in one unified solution.

auditing, and monitoring for any privileged
credential, Password Safe customers can
achieve complete control and accountability
over privileged accounts throughout the
cross-platform enterprise. The resulting
benefits of the integration include:
Automated access: Immediately
empower IT admins, specialists and
executives with the privileged access they
need to do their job
Centralised management: Provide a
complete, centralised view of each
identity’s access across all standard and
privileged/shared/system accounts
Reduced risk: Continuously remove
unnecessary privileged accounts as users
switch jobs or leave the company
“In order to meet audit and compliance
requirements, IT organisations must know
who has access to specific applications and
data, whether that access is appropriate,
and that it’s being used properly,” said
“To meet the ongoing security challenges
today, IT organisations need to have full
visibility and control to effectively govern
user access for both privileged as well as
non-privileged accounts.”
Dan DeRosa, Chief Product Officer,
BeyondTrust, said: “SailPoint IdentityIQ users
can now leverage the fine-grained controls
and verifiable audit visibility through
detailed activity logs, session monitoring
and keystroke logging to understand who is
doing what with their privileges.
“Combined with BeyondTrust’s strong
behavioural analytics, organisations can more
effectively identify and mitigate external and
internal information security threats.
“We offer the broadest set of
integrations, and our partnership with
SailPoint is yet another example of our open
architecture and commitment to customers
to create the market’s most comprehensive
view of insider and privilege risk.”
Mike Wyatt, Identity solutions leader for
cyber risk services and principal in Deloitte
& Touche LLP, said: “As a leading systems
integrator of BeyondTrust and SailPoint
we are pleased that this integration is now
available because it is our goal to make
available to our clients a broad identity
platform. We also want to share how great
it is to watch BeyondTrust emerge as such
a strong partner in the privileged access
space and to see them be named as a Leader
in Gartner’s Magic Quadrant for Privileged
Access Management.”
