“We’re expanding our global footprint and seeing tremendous success around the globe eliminating data breaches from insider privilege abuse and external hacking attacks,” said Kevin Hickey, president and CEO, Beyondtrust. “While the competition is struggling, we’re seeing phenomenal growth, especially in EMEA where the team achieved record bookings with over 50 percent Q2 growth with no signs of dwindling market demand.”

Beyondtrust delivers what leading industry analysts including Kuppingercole, Forrester, Gartner and Quadrant Research and others consider to be the most complete and integrated privileged access management platform available on the market. The Powerbroker Privileged Access Management Platform is an integrated solution to provide control and visibility over all privileged accounts and users across Windows, Mac, Unix and Linux desktop and server platforms. By uniting best of breed capabilities in a single pane of glass that many alternative providers offer as disjointed tools, the Powerbroker platform simplifies deployments, reduces costs, improves system security and closes gaps to reduce privileged risks.

Powerbroker is being used to reduce the attack surface by eliminating the sharing of privileged accounts and delegating permissions without exposing credentials.  It also monitors privileged user, session and file activities for unauthorised access and/or changes to key files and directories.  The platform can also be used to analyse asset and user behaviour to detect suspect and/or malicious activities of insiders and/or compromised accounts.

Beyondtrust’s global client roster includes over 4,000 customers including over half of the Fortune 100, the world’s largest banks, aerospace and defence firms, 7 of the 10 largest pharmaceutical companies and all five branches of the U.S. military and renowned universities across the globe.

“In the first half of 2017, Beyondtrust helped over 200 new customers reduce insider risks and close external security gaps,” said Kevin Hickey, president and CEO at Beyondtrust. “In addition to adding hundreds of new customers, organisations are leveraging the value of the integrated platform to satisfy maturing privilege requirements, enabling Beyondtrust to expand relationships with existing customers.”
