ATLANTA, April 15, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BeyondTrust, the worldwide leader in Privileged Access Management, today announced the release of BeyondTrust Password Safe 21.1 and BeyondInsight 21.1. In this release, Password Safe has additional support for new platforms, key access policy enhancements, and an extensive set of additional API endpoints to support working with Team Passwords.

These new features and capabilities save IT operations and security teams time, providing enhanced security and greater flexibility.
BeyondInsight is BeyondTrust’s centralized reporting and analytics platform that provides IT and business leaders with visibility into the privilege-related risks facing their organizations. BeyondTrust Password Safe combines privileged password and session management to protect privileged credentials and safeguard access to critical assets. Current capabilities leverage a powerful, distributed network discovery engine to scan, identify, and profile all assets. This categorization uniquely allows automated onboarding, and the ability for access policies to self-adjust according to environmental changes. Together, BeyondInsight and Password Safe help organizations achieve complete control and accountability over privileged accounts.
For years, organizations have struggled with highly complex password and secrets management. BeyondTrust Password Safe continues to simplify credential management by adding extensible tools, expanded platform support and more automation capabilities. BeyondTrust Password Safe 21.1 makes it even easier to manage privileged credentials, with less time and complexity. Password Safe 21.1 also adds further support to PMWM agent for password change activities. These enhancements expand BeyondTrust’s already robust set of PAM security use cases.

The ease of use and extensibility of BeyondTrust BeyondInsight and Password Safe are critical for partners looking to enhance their security offerings. They can build more comprehensive solutions, support a broader set of use cases and reduce the overall time to value.
“Enterprises need to manage, monitor, and control their privileged account credentials, and access across on-premises, cloud, and hybrid infrastructure,” states Dan DeRosa, Chief Product Officer at BeyondTrust. “Many organizations have widespread use of privileged credentials for users, both human and non-human. Without proper oversight, this can lead to significant security and compliance risk. BeyondInsight and Password Safe 21.1 enable IT operations and security teams to intelligently organize assets and accounts, reduce manual effort and improve productivity. The solution provides a full audit trail for incident response and compliance, and it’s easy to deploy, use and maintain, with robust automation.”
