BeyondTrust solutions are deployed in and help secure all cabinet level Federal Civilian agencies and over 100+ Defense Department environments. We are trusted across all 4 branches of the DoD, including the 4th estate, with ATO’s both on the classified and unclassified side.

Explore this guide to discover how BeyondTrust is used by public sector security and IT teams to deliver user flexibility while sustaining a zero trust architecture, discovering, inventorying, and categorizing all assets and accounts. This includes applying just-in-time access models to deliver elevated access in tightly controlled environments.

Addressing CISA, NSA, & FBI Guidance for “Securing Remote Access Software”

Link copied

Remote access use cases have exploded, and so has the deployment of remote access software. However, much of this remote access technology, even if not deployed urgently, was not deployed with security at top-of-mind. Other times, the software is stretched for inappropriate use cases (such as VPNs used with BYOD or for vendor access).

Like any other software, remote access software risks being misused or co-opted by threat actors. This is something that federal agencies, such as CISA, NSA, and FBI have warned about and provided recent guidance.

This paper explores how BeyondTrust solutions can help organizations meet the CISA, NSA, FBI, MS-ISAC, and INCD objectives for secure remote access software. Discover how BeyondTrust solutions are architected with security at all levels, enabling least privilege enforcement, zero trust, and enhanced privilege session management and monitoring.

Access Management: Key to CISA's Zero Trust Maturity Model 2.0

Link copied

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency’s (CISA) Zero Trust Maturity Model Version 2.0 identifies access management as a core function within the Identity Pillar of their model, bringing the need for Privileged Access Management (PAM) into clear focus. Using these categories as an evaluative tool, an organization can pinpoint the maturity stage of their current Zero Trust Architecture and understand what steps to take to progress.

Dive inside this report to explore access management best practices, analyses of the new zero trust Access Management maturity category, and the substantial impact that Privileged Access Management capabilities can have for organizations on their journey towards Zero Trust.

BeyondTrust PAM Addresses Key DoD Use Cases

Today, the United States Department of Defense’s (DoD) Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO) and US Cyber Command Zero Trust initiative are working toward eliminating malicious actors and their lateral movement abilities by 2027. As the initiative progresses, several key challenges have been identified within several Identity, Credential, & Access Management (ICAM) programs across the institution and its agencies. This has revealed a significant limitation to current Privileged Access Management (PAM) capabilities within many Department of Defense organizations.

Dive inside this whitepaper to discover the ways in which BeyondTrust Privileged Access Management can empower agencies with robust access management, secure remote access, and credential management capabilities to overcome current DoD limitations.

BeyondTrust for Operational Technology (OT) Security

Today, operational technologies and traditional IT networks interact heavily with one another, allowing remote control and access to OT systems. This may increase efficiency, but comes at a heavy cybersecurity cost.

Several experts in the field recently sat down to discuss the growing OT/IT convergence challenge, possible solutions, and recommendations for the future. Read this whitepaper to discover key points from this discussion.

Mapping BeyondTrust Capabilities to NIST SP 800-207

Link copied

Zero trust assumes there is no implicit trust granted to assets or user accounts based solely on their physical or network location (i.e., local area networks versus the internet) or based on asset ownership (enterprise or personally owned). Authentication and authorization (both subject and device) are discrete functions performed before a session to an enterprise resource is established.

Read this whitepaper to learn how BeyondTrust Privileged Access Management (PAM) solutions map into guidelines set forth in the NIST Special Publication (SP) 800-2017 on Zero Trust Architecture.

Achieving NIST SP800-53 Compliance with BeyondTrust

NIST Special Publication 800-53 provides a catalog of security controls for all U.S. federal information systems except those related to national security. The purpose of the NIST 800-53 is to provide guidelines and best practices for protecting the government’s sensitive information and the personal information of citizens from cyberattacks. This special publication is authored by the Joint Task Force.

In this whitepaper, we highlight some of the key NIST control families and explain how BeyondTrust PAM solutions enable you to meet the requirements.

Unique to BeyondTrust: FIPS Level 1 Validation
