BeyondTrust Announces Microsoft Teams Integration for Remote Support

BeyondTrust has announced BeyondTrust Remote Support 21.3, featuring a new integration with Microsoft Teams. Users can now chat via Teams directly with a support representative using BeyondTrust Remote Support and, if needed, elevate to a fully audited remote screen sharing session without ever leaving Microsoft Teams. New enhancements also enable integration directly with Azure Domain services for discovery and rotation of credentials stored in Azure Active Directory (AD).

“Support teams need a simplified, seamless and intuitive interface for their end users to gain access to the support they need,” said Tal Guest, Director of Product Management at BeyondTrust.

“These key integrations with Microsoft will allow organizations to streamline their end user experience and better secure their enterprise environments.”

IT service desks face an increasingly complex support environment, requiring flexible remote support options that scale, adapt, and continue to meet rigorous security requirements. Many organizations continue to use a combination of remote access products, including free tools, that cannot scale across their enterprise and lack the security features required to protect the organization from modern cyberattacks. BeyondTrust Remote Support gives organizations the capability to support a wide range of devices, including unattended systems and IoT, while increasing operational efficiency, and lowering downtime and costs.
