Context-aware security intelligence solutions provider BeyondTrust has launched BeyondInsight, an IT risk management platform that’s designed to unify vulnerability management and privileged account management.

By using BeyondInsight, organizations can control multiple BeyondTrust solutions, including analytics, reporting, asset profiling, and asset discovery, from a single dashboard. This helps IT and security teams work better together.

BeyondInsight enables IT pros and security experts to address security exposures across large and diverse environments, reduce user-based risk, and make sure they’re in compliance with internal, industry and government requirements.

The new risk management platform can be configured for privileged account management, vulnerability management, or both.

“Recent attacks against prominent financial services institutions, retailers and government agencies have demonstrated that the threat environment has profoundly changed,” explained Mark Kraska, vice president of engineering and director of compliance at eHealth Technologies.

“With BeyondInsight, we’ll be able to not only manage privileges and reveal vulnerabilities, but also gain insights into how privileges and vulnerabilities interconnect and impact our overall security posture in the context of our most important business priorities. This will allow us to see and manage risk like never before.”
