BeyondTrust named leader in Gartner’s 2024 PAM Magic Quadrant

Thu, 12th Sep 2024

BeyondTrust has been positioned in the Leaders Quadrant of the 2024 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Privileged Access Management (PAM).

This marks the sixth consecutive year the company has been recognised in this category by the analyst research report.

The recognition is attributed to BeyondTrust's "Ability to Execute" and "Completeness of Vision". Janine Seebeck, CEO of BeyondTrust, said, "We believe our recognition as a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Privileged Access Management for the sixth consecutive year reflects our commitment to delivering comprehensive solutions that address the evolving challenges of managing privileged access and addressing the paths to privilege."

"We are dedicated to continuing to press forward in this space by driving innovation and providing the tools that offer high value and protection to help our customers to stay ahead of emerging threats."

The company states that in the past year, 90% of organisations experienced an identity-related security incident. Attackers increasingly target unidentified attack paths, gaining footholds, compromising identities, escalating privileged access, and moving laterally to compromise an organisation's infrastructure. BeyondTrust aims to provide holistic visibility, simplified management, and intelligent protection through its modern PAM control plane to mitigate these identity-based threats.

BeyondTrust was also named an 'Overall Leader' in the 2024 KuppingerCole Leadership Compass for Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR), an area critical for identity security. The company asserts it is well-positioned to assist organisations in transforming their identity security.

Customers worldwide have shared positive feedback about BeyondTrust's solutions on the Gartner Peer Insights platform. A Network Engineer from the Construction industry mentioned, "We were looking for a product that would help us transition our Windows User community from full admin access to regular user access without any major disruptions to our user community. This product did exactly that. We were able to install the product onto all of our Workstations and then slowly ratchet up the restrictions with very few user issues."

A Principal IT Engineer from the Software industry commented, "BeyondTrust is a mature product with extensive IT Integrations. The product is mature for end-users and admins. It's very flexible and integrates with other IT platforms." Another user, a Technical Analyst in IT Security and Risk Management from the Banking industry, said, "Excellent Privilege Management tool. BeyondTrust easily allows me to manage user privilege within my company, apply custom tokens, elevate applications only for certain groups and keep the environment safer by not allowing applications elevation unless previously designated."

Further feedback includes comments from a Lead Consultant in IT Services who said, "The best PAM solution in the market right now. Overall experience with BeyondTrust has been fabulous as they are very supportive and their overall team are pretty good in handling any requirements from the client." Additionally, a Manager in IT Security and Risk Management from the Manufacturing industry noted, "Endpoint Privilege Management that works as expected. Great experiences right from the purchasing to the implementation and support."

"Their teams are very thorough and make sure you are well taken care of. The privilege management software itself works exactly as you'd expect it to, using policies that you assign to your devices. Lots of customisation and simple to use. New features are constantly being added."

BeyondTrust continues to be recognised for its contributions in the field of cybersecurity, particularly concerning Privileged Access Management and Identity Threat Detection and Response, reflecting its ongoing commitment to innovation and security in the digital landscape.
