Upon choosing award recipients, Frost & Sullivan analysts independently evaluated two key factors—technology leverage and customer impact—and in both categories, Beyondtrust scored in the “Excellent” range, which is the highest score possible.

Beyondtrust’s Retina CS is a vulnerability management software solution that provides organisations with context-aware vulnerability assessment and risk analysis. Retina’s results-oriented architecture works with users to proactively identify security exposures, analyse business impact, and plan and conduct remediation across disparate and heterogeneous infrastructure. Over 10,000 customers worldwide rely on Retina to enable visible, measurable and actionable vulnerability management across their organisations.

“We have worked tirelessly over the years to make Retina CS an industry standard for vulnerability scanning and vulnerability management, and continue to evolve the technology based on the needs of our customers,” said Kevin Hickey, president and CEO, Beyondtrust. “This recognition from Frost & Sullivan not only further validates our ongoing efforts, but is a testament to how the marketplace views our leadership position and how we have been able to strategically achieve our vision of extending vulnerability management to include privileged account management for the ever-changing requirements of the modern enterprise.”

As stated in the Frost & Sullivan report, Beyondinsight is the logical engine that bridges Powerbroker privileged account management and Retina CS VM solutions. As such, Beyondinsight is a comprehensive asset and network protection platform. 

“Traditional vulnerability management is scanning network infrastructure and endpoints for known vulnerabilities and configuration errors,” said Christopher Kissel, industry analyst for Frost & Sullivan. “Beyondtrust is a company that recognizes there is so much more that goes on in VM than the scan. In addition to scanning endpoints, Beyondtrust platforms can offer privileged access management, detect indicators of compromise in applications, and monitor transitions of users and assets in smart groups. Search capabilities and report generation are important characteristics of a successful VM platform, and Beyondtrust provides a Microsoft SQL database interface, allowing customers to have a historical as well as real-time querying capability.”
