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.”
