BeyondTrust has launched the new Identity Security Risk Assessment, a free service designed to illuminate identity attack surfaces, so organisations can better manage risk and reduce vulnerabilities. This initiative underscores BeyondTrust’s commitment to support companies worldwide in understanding and mitigating identity-based security threats.
The combination of diverse, but hyper-connected, identity landscapes–spanning cloud, hybrid, and on-premise environments–and the proliferation of identities, accounts, and entitlements has pushed effective identity security out of reach for most organisations. While identity is the connective tissue that enables modern work, it’s also the vector attackers exploit most to breach organisations, with 90% of organisations experiencing an identity-related incident in the last year.
The new BeyondTrust Identity Security Risk Assessment quickly reveals hidden Paths to Privilege within an organisation’s existing environment. It analyses key aspects of the identity infrastructure and provides an initial set of findings to help guide security decisions.
Key features of the new Identity Security Risk Assessment:
- Rapid deployment: Connects to identity landscapes—including IdPs, cloud platforms, on-premises Active Directory, Entra ID, Okta and Ping configurations—in under an hour.
- Comprehensive analysis: Uncovers the entire identity attack surface from an attacker’s perspective within 24 hours.
- Actionable insights: Delivers a unified view of high-risk identities, unused accounts, and an understanding of how attackers could elevate privileges, facilitating informed decisions.
“At BeyondTrust, our mission is to fight every day to secure identities, intelligently remediate threats, and deliver dynamic access to empower and protect organisations around the world,” said Sam Elliott, SVP of Products at BeyondTrust. “We understand many organisations are struggling to grasp their identity risk exposure, and to that end, our new Identity Security Risk Assessment allows companies to better understand and identify potential identity risk, all without the costs normally associated with such services.”
The Identity Security Risk Assessment is powered by BeyondTrust’s Identity Security Insights, a solution that aggregates identity data and employs AI-based detection capabilities to illuminate hidden Paths to Privilege and identity vulnerabilities. By offering this assessment service at no cost, BeyondTrust aims to democratise access to critical security insights, fostering a more resilient cybersecurity landscape.
